About Apostolos Fournaris
Apostolos Fournaris is a psychodynamic psychotherapist with 18 years of professional experience, offering a thoughtful, non-judgemental space for people who want to better understand themselves and their relationships.
His work is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, a depth-oriented approach that explores how conscious and unconscious feelings, motivations, and early relational experiences can shape patterns in the present. Therapy can involve creating change where it is possible, and also developing acceptance where circumstances cannot be changed. Apostolos pays close attention to the ways people may find themselves repeating painful or unhelpful patterns, often without fully understanding why, and supports clients in making sense of inner conflicts that can feel confusing or stuck.
He offers once-weekly psychotherapy on both a short-term and long-term basis, working with adults, children, and adolescents. Alongside individual therapy, he provides consultation, facilitates reflective groups, and offers tailored psycho-educational support to organisations such as schools, charities, and businesses, as well as brief interventions for families.
Apostolos welcomes contact from those seeking support with concerns such as anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma, gender identity, substance misuse and addiction, anger, and wider family matters, as well as from anyone who would like to explore how they relate to others. He is a member of BACP (the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and works in line with the BACP and BPS ethical frameworks. His training includes an MA in Psychodynamic Counselling (BACP Accredited) from the University of Essex, postgraduate study at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, and a BSc (Honours) in Psychology.

Psychodynamic therapy, made accessible online
Apostolos Fournaris works with a psychodynamic approach, which focuses on understanding how past experiences and early relationships can influence current feelings, choices, and relationship patterns. It can be especially helpful when the same difficulties keep resurfacing, or when emotions feel confusing or hard to put into words.Psychodynamic therapy also pays attention to unconscious motivations and inner conflicts. By exploring these gently over time, clients can develop greater insight into what drives certain reactions and how to respond with more flexibility in everyday life. The work can be short term or longer term, depending on goals and needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Apostolos works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy and to shape the pace and focus in a way that feels useful and manageable, whether the aim is symptom relief, deeper self-understanding, or support through a difficult period.
