Constantino Costi , BACP

Constantino Costi brings a humanistic, integrative approach to therapy, combining clinical training with a compassionate, client-focused style. He has worked in private practice for eight years, supporting people through difficult life stages and helping them explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

He draws on a background in Humanistic Integrative practice, using mindfulness and coaching techniques alongside established therapeutic methods to revisit familiar patterns and discover new ways of being. Constantino describes his work as warm, empathetic, respectful, and trustworthy, and he aims to create sessions that are both supportive and stimulating whether someone is new to counselling or has previous experience.

Over the course of his career he has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, bereavement and loss, anger, self-harm, low self-esteem, identity issues, relationship difficulties, and stress. He also has experience with short-term Cognitive Behavioral Therapy informed work through his time with the charity MiND and with Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services.

Constantino holds the credential BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and combines practical organisation with an intuitive, motivated approach to help clients work with the here and now while exploring past influences and future aims.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action and practical steps, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and when life changes feel overwhelming.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. It can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, abandonment themes, and attachment-related trauma by increasing awareness and promoting healthier relational patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers structured techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and practical coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. Constantino will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and there are options for live chat or ongoing text-based messaging when that format suits someone better. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access support from different locations, and to continue working toward goals in ways that feel most comfortable.
