Akvile Constantinou, BACP, NCPS

Akvile Constantinou welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles and the heavy impact of loss or past harm. Sessions are offered in English and Lithuanian and she works with international clients.

Akvile uses a mix of well-known approaches to suit each person. She listens without judgement and helps clients notice patterns of thought and behaviour that make life harder. Then she and the client pick practical steps together to try in daily life. Sessions tend to focus on small, manageable changes rather than big, theoretical plans.

Her background includes five years of clinical experience since 2019 and a BSc (Hons) in Counselling. Her credentials include BACP and NCPS and she has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She has experience with trauma, abuse, work-related stress, identity questions, isolation and suicidal thinking.

In sessions clients reflect on values, goals and what matters to them. Akvile helps people name difficult feelings, try new coping skills and shift unhelpful thoughts. She adapts methods to each person rather than using one fixed technique.

Therapy can be practical and down to earth. Conversations aim to build trust, increase self-awareness and make everyday life feel more manageable. If someone prefers a collaborative, caring counsellor who emphasises small steps, Akvile may be a suitable match.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Akvile often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what really matters to them and take small actions that reflect their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.

She also draws on Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ways of working, which focus on building a trusting relationship and understanding how early bonds shape current patterns. These approaches help people feel heard and explore relationship or attachment concerns in a respectful, collaborative way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will agree which methods to try and can adjust them as therapy moves forward.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and let people try different ways of meeting until they find what fits best.
