Aristogeiton "Ari" Sotiriou, BACP

Aristogeiton "Ari" Sotiriou helps people looking to understand their feelings and change patterns that no longer serve them. He addresses relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and loss in plain, steady language. Ari’s approach aims to make everyday life feel more manageable and connected.

Ari practises psychodynamic therapy and brings 11 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He draws on conversations about recurring feelings and past experience to help people recognise patterns that show up in relationships and self-image. Sessions focus on understanding why things feel hard now and on small, practical steps to shift those patterns.

He works with concerns such as depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related worries, eating difficulties and anger. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency and challenges around separation and blended family dynamics. Ari also supports people facing caregiving strain, cancer-related stress, ageing concerns and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are offered in English, French and Greek. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Ari accepts international clients and draws on his independent practice experience to tailor therapy to each person’s situation.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Therapy aims to combine clearer self-understanding with usable ways to handle stress, relationships and life changes.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring feelings and patterns that shape how people relate to themselves and others. It often involves talking about past relationships and current reactions so hidden themes become clearer, which can help with anxiety, relationship struggles and low self-esteem.

That approach is suited to reflective, conversational work where a person and therapist notice repeated patterns together. The therapist helps people name patterns, link them to past experience, and try different ways of responding in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether psychodynamic work feels helpful and to shape sessions around goals and preferences. This is a joint process that can change as understanding grows.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel, reduce time spent commuting and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions let them keep continuity of care across moves or different time zones, but check the available formats and scheduling before you book.
