About Constantino

Constantino Costi offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel stuck or unsure where to turn. He encourages straightforward conversation and listens with warmth so clients can speak without feeling dismissed. His approach is practical and paced to what each person needs right now.

He draws on eight years in private practice and prior work with the charity MiND. That experience included short-term work using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and contact with the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies pathway. He uses that background to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and low self-esteem.

Sessions focus on the relationship between client and counsellor. Constantino uses humanistic, client-centred ways of working alongside acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed perspectives, and emotionally-focused tools. He also brings coaching and mindfulness into sessions when that fits the goals.

Work is tailored to practical change. He helps people notice patterns, practise new responses, and try small experiments between meetings. For some this looks like addressing sleep and eating, for others it is handling career stress, parenting strain, or intimacy-related worries.

Constantino aims to create a steady environment for people who are new to counselling as well as those with prior experience. He supports LGBT concerns and a wide range of additional issues including ADHD, trauma, relationship problems, and chronic health challenges. He sees clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking steps that matter to them. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce symptoms such as low mood and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now, which can help with intimacy and relationship worries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will help clients decide together which methods suit their goals and preferences. This decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses, mixing approaches where helpful.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer not to be on camera, while others find video most helpful for emotional connection. Registered or accredited professionals can work with people across different time zones, which supports international clients.
