Constantino Costi brings warmth, empathy, and a steady professional presence to his therapeutic work, guiding people through difficult periods when life feels overwhelming or isolating. He values being a reliable point of contact for those who need to share personal struggles and to be heard without judgment, helping clients explore their thoughts, feelings, and emotions at a comfortable pace.

Drawing on a humanistic integrative background, Constantino places the client-therapist relationship at the center of therapy and combines mindfulness and coaching techniques to support practical change in the here and now. He encourages exploration of the past alongside present experience and future aims, helping clients notice familiar patterns and discover new ways of relating to themselves. Known for being attentive, intuitive, and hardworking, he aims to create supportive and stimulating sessions for both people familiar with counselling and those seeking it for the first time.

Constantino has worked in private practice for eight years and has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, abuse, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, self-harm, confidence and self-esteem, identity issues, and stress. He has previously worked with the charity MiND, which provided experience of the Improving Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) approach and short-term Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). He holds the BACP credential, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Integrative approaches and flexible online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward actions that reflect their values. It uses practical exercises and mindfulness to build psychological flexibility and can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in close relationships. It explores how past attachment experiences influence current partnerships and family dynamics, and can support work with intimacy-related concerns, grief, and relationship wounds.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a trusting therapeutic relationship and a non-directive stance that allows clients to lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach supports self-exploration and is often useful for building confidence, improving self-esteem, and navigating life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Constantino works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they consider techniques and styles that feel most helpful and adjust the work as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from different locations and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not practical.
