About Aristogeiton
Aristogeiton "Ari" Sotiriou helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain or major life changes. He speaks English, French and Greek and practises in the United Kingdom. Ari uses conversation and reflection to help clients understand patterns that keep causing pain and to find clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.
Ari draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviours.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on noticing repeated patterns, making sense of strong emotions, and exploring how early relationships influence current choices. That work often uncovers reasons for low self-esteem, intimacy difficulties, or recurrent conflicts. Practical concerns such as coping with grief, addiction, parenting stress, caregiving burden, or major life transitions are also addressed.
He helps people break down problems into manageable steps and develop coping strategies that fit their day-to-day life. Conversations can include exploring family of origin issues, communication problems, commitment concerns and feelings of emptiness. Clients can expect a calm and attentive style.
Ari aims to provide a steady space for people to speak openly and test new ways of thinking and acting. He has worked in independent practice and brings eleven years of experience to his work. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and sessions are scheduled around availability.
International clients may be seen and sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Ari holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

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
A conversational, reflective approach helps bring unconscious patterns into awareness. In sessions the counsellor and client talk through feelings, memories and reactions to understand their impact and try out new ways of responding. This can support work on grief, addiction, caregiver stress, commitment concerns and family of origin issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. Together they will review progress and adjust the focus as required to make therapy practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging suits people who prefer written reflection or need ongoing brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while maintaining regular contact with registered or accredited professionals.
