About Constantino

Constantino Costi offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anger, anxiety or life changes. He writes plainly and listens closely so people can talk without feeling judged. He uses a warm, respectful style and encourages clients to move at their own pace.

He brings eight years of private practice experience and a background influenced by humanistic, integrative counselling. That means the relationship between counsellor and client is central, and sessions often start by exploring what matters most to the person in front of him. He draws on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness when helpful.

Clients commonly come with worries about addiction, bereavement, trauma, low self-esteem or relationship strain. He also supports people dealing with sleep and eating issues, ADHD, career worries and compassion fatigue. Conversations tend to focus on identifying patterns, finding small changes that can help, and building clearer ways to cope day to day.

Constantino uses an approachable, client-centred manner. He aims to make sessions feel safe and constructive whether someone is new to counselling or has tried therapy before. He combines exploration of past influences with work on present goals and practical steps for the future.

He holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and he works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings without fighting them and to take steps that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression and struggles where avoidance has become a habit. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and problem behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy issues, trust and patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and agree together which methods feel most useful. This is a collaborative process that balances practical tools with understanding the story behind a problem.

The biography does not specify which online or in-person session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier and often reduces travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that fit a lunch break, and sometimes people find it helps them access the therapist’s support when location or mobility would otherwise make attending in person harder.
