About Apostolos

Apostolos Fournaris offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by jealousy, anxiety, loss or relationship strain. He focuses on helping individuals untangle difficult feelings and understand how past experiences shape present reactions. Conversations are straightforward and centred on what matters most to the client right now.

He uses a psychodynamic approach to look at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions aim to make hidden motives and feelings easier to recognise, so people can make clearer choices about their relationships and behaviour. Work can be short term for a specific problem or longer term to look more deeply at life patterns.

Over 18 years Apostolos has worked with adults, children and adolescents, and he offers consultation, reflective groups and psycho-educational support to organisations such as schools and charities. He also provides brief family interventions tailored to particular needs. His practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.

He trained in psychodynamic counselling and psychoanalytic studies and is currently completing a PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex. His background includes postgraduate training at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and degrees in psychology and art history.

Sessions are delivered in English and Greek, and he accepts international clients. People who are unsure about next steps are encouraged to use the continue button on this profile to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

How psychodynamic ideas translate to online therapy

Psychodynamic work looks at repeating patterns and hidden feelings that shape how people react in relationships. In practice this means talking about current problems and tracing them back to earlier experiences and recurring ways of relating. It can help with jealousy, attachment difficulties, grief and long-standing mood problems.

Psychodynamic sessions also pay attention to emotions that arise between the person and the therapist during conversation. Noticing these moments can reveal how someone relates to others outside therapy and offers a route to change. This focus is useful for people wanting to understand why they repeat the same difficulties in relationships or struggle with intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how deep or practical the sessions should be. That collaborative process helps shape whether short-term or longer-term work is the best fit.

The original profile does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people living outside the counsellor's local area or those managing care and work commitments.
