About Constantino
Constantino Costi is a counsellor who aims to make it easier to talk when life feels heavy. He invites people to bring questions, worries and the hard-to-say things without fear of being judged. His manner is warm and straightforward, so many feel comfortable from the first session.
He uses a humanistic, integrative approach that centres the relationship between client and counsellor. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on feelings, thoughts and behaviour in the here and now.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and coaching tools are offered as ways to build new habits and cope with current challenges. Constantino has worked in independent practice for eight years and has experience supporting people facing addiction, bereavement, anxiety and depression. He has also supported those dealing with trauma, anger, low self-esteem and identity concerns.
Earlier work with the charity MiND gave him familiarity with short-term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies pathway. He holds BACP, which signifies registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This sits alongside his practical experience and human-centred way of working.
When clients want to explore past patterns or focus on present coping, he offers a steady, attentive presence. Parents reading this will find an emphasis on practical steps and emotional support around parenting challenges. The aim is to help people notice patterns, try manageable changes, and build on what already works in daily life.

How his approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and when life changes feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns and helps people understand how they connect with others today. This approach can be helpful for intimacy-related worries and relationship issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathy and non-judgement so clients can find their own solutions and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses options with each client and chooses methods together based on needs, goals and what feels comfortable. Sessions are collaborative and adapt over time as priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection when needed, phone sessions work well when a lower-bandwidth option is preferable, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities or busy days while keeping focus on progress and practical coping.
