Constantino Costi, BACP

Constantino Costi is a warm, attentive therapist who supports people through difficult life transitions and persistent emotional challenges. He brings an approachable, empathic presence to sessions and aims to create a space where clients can speak openly and be heard without fear of judgment. With eight years in private practice, he draws on a humanistic integrative foundation that places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of change, combining mindfulness and coaching techniques to help clients explore past patterns, work with the present, and plan for the future.

He describes himself as intuitive, hardworking, and organised, and clients tend to respond quickly to his respectful and trustworthy manner. Constantino works at a pace suited to each person, gradually uncovering thoughts, feelings, and behaviours while offering practical support and reflective exploration. He has experience supporting people with addiction, abuse, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, self-harm, confidence and self-esteem, identity concerns, and stress.

His background includes work with the charity MiND, where he became familiar with the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies - IAPT - model and offered short-term Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients reach specific goals. He holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and provides therapy in English from his base in the United Kingdom, accepting international clients as well.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward valued goals - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early attachments shape current connections, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and works on practical strategies to change them, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, and short-term problem goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Constantino collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as understanding grows. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Constantino is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to engage from different locations and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them, while still working with a registered professional who guides the therapeutic process.
