About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris offers psychotherapy for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, depression, loss, relationship and family concerns, addictions, identity questions and other struggles. Sessions are presented in plain language and focus on what matters to the individual.
He uses a psychodynamic approach that looks at how early relationships and hidden feelings shape current patterns. Conversations often uncover how unspoken motives and repeated behaviours affect everyday life. The work can help people understand why they react a certain way and find different choices.
Fournaris has 18 years of professional experience and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. He holds a Master of Arts in Psychodynamic Counselling from the University of Essex, an ongoing PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies, and additional postgraduate study at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
He also offers consultation and tailored psycho-educational support for organisations such as schools and charities, and runs reflective groups and short-term interventions when needed. These are adapted to the setting and the people involved.
Sessions are available in English and Greek, and he accepts international clients. Before booking, clients are asked to use the site questionnaire to match with him and to schedule according to availability.
Psychodynamic insights and online working
A psychodynamic approach looks at how early relationships and hidden feelings influence current behaviour. It involves talking through patterns, noticing repeated reactions and connecting them to past experiences to make different choices. This can help with issues such as anxiety, low mood, loss, codependency and relationship patterns.The therapist also draws on broader psychoanalytic study to pay attention to inner conflicts and attachment styles. This perspective supports exploring why certain behaviours keep repeating and what emotional needs are behind them.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the way of working to match the person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on longer-term exploration or shorter, problem-focused work.
