About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris is a BACP counsellor with 18 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns, anger, grief, trauma and a wide range of other life difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and he accepts international clients.
He uses a psychodynamic approach. That means he pays attention to how past relationships and early experiences shape current reactions. In practice he helps people notice patterns they keep repeating and the feelings that sit under behaviour. He explains how unconscious motives and inner conflicts can push decisions or fuel anger and resentment.
Sessions can be short term or longer term and are usually once weekly. He also offers consultation, reflective groups and psycho-educational work for organisations, plus brief family interventions when needed. The focus is on helping someone understand how they relate to others and how problems began and continue.
His background includes postgraduate study and ongoing doctoral research in psychoanalytic studies, an MA in psychodynamic counselling accredited by BACP, and training at the Tavistock and Portman. He follows the ethical frameworks of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the British Psychological Society.
People often come because they want clearer control over anger, patterns that damage relationships, or to make sense of repeated emotional problems. He offers direct, reflective work aimed at understanding feelings and changing repeating cycles over time.
How psychodynamic approaches and online work fit together
Apostolos uses psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how early relationships and repeated patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. This approach helps when anger comes from long-standing patterns, attachment issues or inner conflict rather than a single event.He also draws on psychoanalytic ideas that examine unconscious motives and internal parts that compete for attention. That kind of reflective work can be useful for people who want to understand why they react with frustration or resentment in familiar situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. He will work collaboratively to decide whether shorter focused work or longer weekly sessions is better, based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This conversation helps match the type of psychodynamic work to what the person wants to change or understand.
Practical benefits of online sessions include being able to fit meetings into a busy week and reducing travel time. The profile specifies once-weekly psychotherapy and notes organisational consultation and group work, but it does not list other formats; confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make regular reflective therapy easier to sustain alongside everyday responsibilities.
