Ari Sotiriou, M.A.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapist
I am a seasoned Psychodynamic Psychotherapist specialising in individual and couples therapy, with a private practice in central London and online. Fluent in English, Greek, and French, I offer consultations in all three languages.
Originally from Greece, I pursued an engineering degree in Switzerland before transitioning to the electronics and semiconductors industry in the UK. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, I chose to redirect my career path towards psychotherapy. Since 2014, I have been providing psychotherapeutic services to a diverse clientele.
Clients seek my support for a range of reasons, including emotional and psychological challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. Others may be motivated by a desire for personal development, seeking to gain deeper self-awareness and explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a secure and nurturing environment.
My multicultural background and ability to conduct therapy in multiple languages uniquely position me to assist clients from varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds, offering them a therapist who appreciates and understands their distinct perspectives and experiences.
