Constantino Costi, BACP

Constantino Costi offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. He listens closely and helps people talk through what matters most to them, at a pace that feels safe. With eight years in independent practice he aims to make sessions approachable for those new to counselling and for those who have tried therapy before.

He works from a humanistic integrative background that puts the relationship with the client at the centre. That means sessions focus on what the person is feeling right now, while also gently looking at how past experiences shape present reactions. Mindfulness and coaching tools are used alongside conversational work to spot repeating patterns and try small changes.

His practice includes helping people who face anxiety, stress, depression and grief, and those coping with addiction, trauma, relationship struggles and confidence issues. He also supports work around identity, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career or life transitions. This range comes from many hours of hands-on client work and varied professional settings.

Previously he worked with the charity MiND, which included supporting people using short-term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and he is familiar with the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies approach. He describes his style as warm, respectful and attentive, and aims to help people reach clearer outcomes and better day-to-day coping.

Sessions are aimed at practical progress in the here and now, while allowing space to explore the past when it helps. People who want a steady, collaborative counsellor may find his way of working helpful.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking patterns. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance limit everyday life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connection and trust; it can be useful for people noticing repeating relationship patterns or struggles with intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, emphasising empathy and respect so people feel heard and able to explore difficult topics.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean weaving elements from different approaches and adjusting the focus as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments, and they can make shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings simpler to attend. Talk with the therapist about practical needs such as whether you prefer audio-only or video, and how to structure sessions so they match everyday routines and goals.
