Constantino Costi , BACP

Constantino Costi is a warm, attentive therapist who brings a humanistic, integrative approach to his work, helping people navigate difficult periods and regain a stronger sense of balance. He believes counselling offers an opportunity to share what feels heavy without fear of judgment, and he prioritises the client-therapist relationship as central to meaningful change. Drawing on intuition and careful listening, he supports clients at their own pace as they explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be holding them back.

With eight years in private practice, Constantino combines an empathetic, respectful manner with practical organisation and a commitment to ongoing learning. He frames therapy as a collaborative journey - exploring the past where useful, working with the here and now, and looking toward future possibilities. He integrates mindfulness and coaching techniques to revisit familiar habits and to help clients discover new ways of relating to themselves and others.

His background includes work with people facing addiction, abuse, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, self-harm, confidence and self-esteem issues, identity concerns, and stress. He has also worked with the charity MiND, gaining familiarity with short-term supportive work linked to Improving Access to Psychological Therapies and the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for targeted goals. Constantino aims to create supportive, stimulating sessions for both those new to counselling and those with previous experience.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and patterns that feel stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. It aims to improve understanding of relational patterns and supports work on intimacy-related issues, relationship difficulties, and attachment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to address problems such as anxiety, depression, and stress by testing unhelpful thinking and developing alternative coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Constantino Costi will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques as therapy progresses with input from the client.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit support into busy lives and to connect with licensed professionals from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow for ongoing check-ins between sessions, and can make it simpler to continue work through transitions or when in-person meetings are not practical.
