About Constantino
Constantino Costi offers approachable counselling for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. He aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady support so someone can begin to feel more able day to day.
He uses a humanistic, client-centred way of working that puts the relationship first. That means sessions move at the client's pace and concentrate on what matters to them now.
Background and approach
He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make small changes that matter. Constantino has eight years' experience in independent practice and has supported people through issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, stress and low self-esteem. He also lists work around LGBT issues, bipolar, ADHD and many life changes.
He spent time working with the charity MiND and has experience with IAPT-style short-term CBT approaches. In sessions he uses mindfulness and coaching techniques alongside talking work to help people reflect and try new ways of coping. He aims to be warm, attentive and practical so people can use what they learn between meetings.
People can work with him by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps in that direction, even when feelings are difficult. It suits issues like anxiety, low mood and life transitions where values-based action is useful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on practical strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, insomnia and some forms of addictive behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quieter space is available. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, quick reflections or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it straightforward to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments, and let people try different formats to see what helps them most.
