Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy with Ari Sotiriou

Psychodynamic therapy explores the ways early experiences, unconscious patterns, and current relationships influence feelings and behaviour. In accessible, reflective sessions the therapist helps identify repeated relational themes - such as patterns of attachment, abandonment anxieties, or difficulties with intimacy - and works with clients to understand and shift those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ari approaches this collaboratively. He will work with each person or couple to clarify goals, consider how psychodynamic ideas fit their needs, and adapt the work over time so therapy aligns with the client's priorities and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contact or ongoing check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. For many people this range of options makes it easier to maintain regular sessions, balance therapy with daily commitments, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
