Constantino Costi, BACP

Constantino Costi offers steady, non-judgemental support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. He aims to make it easy to talk about things that feel heavy, whether that is stress, anxiety, loss, or struggles with identity and self-worth. Many find it helpful to have someone who listens and responds with warmth and respect.

He uses a humanistic, integrative outlook that centres the relationship between counsellor and client. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most right now. Constantino brings practical tools alongside reflective conversation to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

His background includes work in short-term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as part of charity settings, and eight years working in private practice. That mix means he can offer both goal-focused techniques and longer, exploratory work. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and Emotionally-Focused thinking when relevant.

In sessions he invites people to look at past experiences, the realities of the here and now, and hopes for the future. Mindfulness and coaching ideas are used to help make changes practical and manageable. He is comfortable supporting people facing addictions, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, ADHD, and more.

Sessions are offered in English and Constantino accepts international clients. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, recorded as BACP, and continues to use his experience to guide each person toward clearer choices.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them. It focuses on values and small actions to move life in a chosen direction, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) aims to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavioural changes. It works well for problems like low mood, anxiety, and patterns that keep a person stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences, and together choose or blend methods that suit the person. That collaborative process means techniques can be tailored and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, pacing communication, or when a person prefers written reflection. These formats give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or travel while still accessing regular support from registered or accredited professionals.
