About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris offers straightforward, calm support for adults, children and adolescents facing stress, anxiety, loss, relationship concerns, identity questions and addiction-related difficulties. He works with people who are trying to make sense of recurring patterns, cope with big life changes, or address issues such as sleep problems, eating concerns, anger or low self-esteem.
Sessions are conducted in English and Greek and Apostolos accepts international clients. He practises psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on how past experiences and unconscious feelings shape current behaviour.
Background and approach
In sessions he listens for repeated themes, relationships that cause pain, and inner conflicts that get in the way of daily life. Therapy can be short or long term depending on what the person wants. Apostolos brings 18 years of clinical experience and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
His training includes postgraduate qualifications in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic studies and he is continuing doctoral work. That background informs a reflective, exploratory style rather than quick fixes. Beyond one-to-one therapy he offers consultation, reflective group facilitation and psycho-educational work tailored to schools, charities and businesses.
He also provides brief family interventions and coaching-style support when people want focused help to resolve a particular problem. People who choose this approach should expect a thoughtful, patient process. Sessions involve talking about feelings, relationships and personal history to understand patterns and try out new ways of relating.

How psychodynamic thinking shapes online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and situations. It looks at how early attachments and hidden feelings influence what happens now, helping people make sense of recurring problems and emotional conflicts.Psychodynamic work also explores how a person relates to the therapist in the room or online. Noticing those reactions can reveal unhelpful habits and offer new ways of relating to others. This approach can be useful for issues such as anxiety, grief, addiction and identity questions where underlying patterns matter.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Apostolos will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and together decide whether longer weekly sessions or shorter interventions suit those aims. That collaborative discussion helps shape how therapy proceeds.
The biography does not list specific online session types, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow people to keep regular appointments during busy periods. It can also let someone choose a quieter time of day or a shorter check-in when that better fits their routine.
