Aristogeiton "Ari" Sotiriou is a psychodynamic psychotherapist who helps individuals and couples seek meaningful, lasting change in their lives and relationships. He draws on 11 years of clinical experience in private practice in London to help clients better understand their emotions, address unhelpful patterns, and strengthen the ways they relate to themselves and others. Ari combines insight-oriented exploration with practical strategies so people can manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and other challenges more effectively.

He creates a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can feel listened to and supported as they navigate life transitions, work on intimacy and attachment issues, or recover from loss and addiction. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Ari brings a professional framework and ongoing reflective practice to his work. He provides therapy in English, French, and Greek and offers both individual and couples work, addressing concerns that include self-esteem, parenting, communication problems, and coping with change. His approach aims to combine deeper understanding with concrete tools to foster lasting personal and relational growth.

Psychodynamic Perspectives and Online Therapy Options

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring how past experiences, unconscious patterns, and internal emotional life shape current feelings and relationships. Through reflective dialogue, this approach helps people identify recurring themes - such as attachment, abandonment, or family of origin issues - and understand how these dynamics influence present behavior and relationships.

In practice, psychodynamic work can be adapted to both individual and couples settings, allowing exploration of intimacy, communication, and relational patterns while also attending to issues like grief, depression, and life transitions. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to determine how deep or problem-focused the work should be, tailoring the pace and focus to the person's needs and goals.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to connect across distances. These options support consistent engagement and make it possible to continue therapeutic work during transitions or when in-person meetings are not feasible.
