Apostolos Fournaris, BACP

Apostolos Fournaris offers psychodynamic psychotherapy to adults and to younger clients. He presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to make sessions a practical place to talk about stress, loss, anxiety or changes in life. He uses plain language and a steady way of working to help people understand what they are repeating and why it matters.

His background spans 18 years of professional practice and a series of postgraduate qualifications in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic studies. Apostolos holds a Master of Arts in Psychodynamic Counselling from the University of Essex, which is BACP accredited, and he is working towards a PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies. He also completed postgraduate foundations at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.

In sessions he aims to help people notice patterns that repeat in relationships and day-to-day life. He explains how early attachments and unconscious motives can shape feelings and choices. Conversations can be short term or longer term depending on what someone wants to work on.

He offers consultation and reflective group facilitation for organisations, and provides tailored psycho-educational support when needed. He has experience with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, identity and ageing and geriatric issues.

Sessions are held in English and Greek and offered from the United Kingdom. Apostolos follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework in his practice and recommends people pick a working pace that suits their life.

Psychodynamic work and online therapy

A psychodynamic approach focuses on how past relationships and unconscious patterns affect present life. It helps people notice repeating behaviours, understand why they happen and make different choices where possible. This approach can be useful for concerns like anxiety, grief, relationship patterns and changes linked to ageing.

Psychodynamic therapy can be offered in short-term or long-term ways depending on what someone wants to achieve. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process: the therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and agree how to work together going forward.

Please confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care if they move or travel internationally. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt the session rhythm and tasks so the work remains focused and relevant to everyday life.
