About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris offers practical, thoughtful psychotherapy for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. He aims to make the therapy space calm and non-judgemental so clients can say what they need to say. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to the individual.
He mainly uses a psychodynamic approach that looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and patterns. In sessions he helps people notice recurring reactions and understand where they come from.

Across 18 years of work he has worked with adults, children and adolescents and has offered both longer-term and brief work.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Psychodynamic work online and practical session options
Apostolos uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand how past relationships and early experiences influence current feelings and choices. This approach pays attention to recurring emotional patterns and the links between past and present behaviour, which can be useful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship difficulties.He may also offer focused short-term work that concentrates on a single problem or life transition, helping people make practical changes while still attending to deeper patterns. The choice between longer-term exploration and brief intervention is made together, based on the client's aims and how they respond in early sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different options with each person and agree a plan that fits their needs, goals and practical circumstances. This helps ensure sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different routines. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
