About Aristogeiton

Aristogeiton "Ari" Sotiriou greets people with a calm, straightforward approach. He explains things simply and helps clients notice patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions aim to make small, steady changes that add up over time.

Ari uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how early experiences shape current feelings and reactions. He helps clients link past events to present behaviour and emotions. That can make difficult relationships and recurring problems easier to understand.

02

How Aristogeiton works

He has worked in independent practice in London and brings 11 years of clinical experience. Ari holds BACP accreditation, which means he meets professional standards with that body. He offers conversation that is both reflective and practical.

Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, and self-esteem. He also focuses on family of origin issues, communication and commitment difficulties, codependency, and coping with life changes. Ari speaks English, French and Greek which helps with clients who prefer those languages.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. The process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button. Ari aims to support steady progress without overwhelming change.

Online support options

Psychodynamic insights and flexible online care

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand recurring patterns, strong emotions and difficulties in relationships by making links between history and present reactions.

In sessions the therapist invites reflection on feelings, dreams, memories and relationship patterns. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, attachment concerns and identity questions where understanding roots helps change how someone responds now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide how best to proceed. That collaborative decision guides whether sessions remain focused on psychodynamic exploration or include more practical check-ins and strategies.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging which offer practical benefits. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, flexible scheduling and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to continue work despite travel, busy schedules or differing needs.
