About Apostolos

Apostolos Fournaris offers thoughtful, calm support for adults who are feeling overwhelmed. He writes in a straightforward way and aims to make therapy feel clear and manageable. Apostolos speaks English and Greek and has 18 years of professional experience.

He is registered with the BACP, which is noted in his credentials. He uses a psychodynamic approach that looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and patterns. Sessions are an opportunity to talk about recurring problems - like stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, grief, or difficulties with intimacy - and to notice how old patterns show up now.

How Apostolos works

He provides both short-term and longer-term weekly therapy depending on what a person needs. In practice he offers one-to-one work and also runs reflective groups and psycho-educational sessions for organisations such as schools, charities and businesses. He can adapt support for people dealing with parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, ageing concerns, neurodiversity, chronic health problems, and communication or control issues.

Appointments can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes sessions more flexible. He accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to therapist availability. The initial steps are kept simple to help a worried person start quickly.

Online support options

Psychodynamic work online and practical session choices

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how early relationships and repeated patterns shape feelings and behaviour. The approach helps people understand why they react in certain ways, by looking at repeated themes, unconscious motives and how different parts of the self can be in conflict. It is often used for anxiety, relationship patterns, grief, low self-esteem and long-standing worries.

Apostolos combines long-term and brief weekly sessions depending on what a person needs. He treats the choice of approach as a shared decision - the person and therapist review goals and preferences together and adjust the way they work as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps make sessions practical and relevant to day-to-day problems.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give more flexibility. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions are lower bandwidth and easier during a busy day, quick check-ins work well by live chat, and longer reflection can be carried out by text messaging over time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of support.
