About Aristogeiton
Aristogeiton "Ari" Sotiriou welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or weighed down by ongoing low mood. He writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk about what matters. Ari offers a steady presence while people sort through difficult feelings and daily problems.
He uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past patterns shape current life. Sessions focus on understanding recurrent feelings and relationships that keep problems going. This helps people notice unhelpful habits and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.
Background and approach
Ari has worked in independent practice in London and brings eleven years of experience to sessions. He holds BACP accreditation, which reflects his professional membership and ethical standards. He speaks English, French and Greek and is able to work with people across different cultures.
Typical concerns he supports include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions and low self-esteem. He also helps with parenting strain, blended family matters, caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment themes, and coping with life changes. Therapy can happen via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit them.

Approaches Aristogeiton lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Sessions also explore attachment and abandonment themes to understand how early bonds affect current connections. That can help with intimacy problems, separation and caregiving stress by bringing awareness to automatic reactions and offering different choices in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ari collaborates with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their goals and preferences. He will discuss options and adapt the focus as needs change, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility around time and place. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
