About Apostolos

Apostolos Fournaris works with adults, children and adolescents on issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and parenting problems, trauma and grief, and matters linked to identity and intimacy. He uses a psychodynamic approach and has 18 years of professional experience. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Apostolos offers weekly psychotherapy that can be short or long term depending on what a person needs. Sessions focus on how early relationships and unconscious patterns affect current behaviour and feelings. He explains how repeated patterns can be understood rather than simply managed.

He also provides consultation and runs reflective groups, and offers psycho-educational work for schools, charities and businesses. He can deliver brief family interventions when a focused short-term approach is needed. These options are described as tailored to organisational needs in his biography.

Apostolos trained in psychodynamic counselling and has studied at the Tavistock and Portman and the University of Essex, where he completed postgraduate work and is pursuing doctoral research in psychoanalytic studies. He holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and earlier university study in art history.

Sessions are carried out in line with BACP and BPS ethical frameworks, and he works in English and Greek. International clients are accepted and practical arrangements such as session length and frequency are agreed directly when booking. If unsure about the right next step, prospective clients are invited to start with the platform matching process.

Psychodynamic approaches and how they work online

Apostolos mainly uses psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how early relationships and hidden patterns shape current feelings and actions. This approach helps with long-standing patterns such as repeating relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and issues that feel linked to childhood experiences.

He also draws on psychoanalytic ideas when relevant, considering unconscious motives and inner conflict in the room. That can help people who want to understand why they act in ways they don’t fully recognise, or who feel pulled in different directions emotionally.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, history and preferences and agree together what to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session logistics should be checked before booking because the biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm which formats are available and the practical details when you arrange a first appointment. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family or work commitments, reduce travel time and allow regular weekly contact even when life is busy.
