Constantino Costi, BACP

Constantino Costi offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by worry, loss, or relationship strain. He aims to make sessions easy to talk in and free from judgement, so people can start to make sense of difficult feelings. Many come to him with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, low self-esteem, or issues around intimacy and relationships.

He draws on eight years of practice in a independent setting and a background working with a mental health charity. That charity experience included short-term work informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping people set and meet practical goals. He lists BACP as his professional credential, which anchors his practice in recognised counselling standards.

In sessions he uses a humanistic, integrative stance that puts the relationship at the centre. That means he listens first, then helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviour at a pace that feels manageable. Mindfulness and coaching ideas are often woven into the work to support change in the here and now.

Constantino also describes using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and other tools when they fit a person’s needs. He says he prefers to explore a client’s past where it helps, while keeping attention on practical steps for daily life.

People who value a warm, organised, and steady approach tend to find his style helpful. He aims to create sessions where someone can talk openly, reflect on familiar patterns, and try new ways of coping as part of an ongoing process.

Approaches you can expect in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and it supports taking small actions that fit personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or tackle habits like disrupted sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns still shape reactions today and can help people change how they connect with others.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and agree together which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and can shift over time as needs and preferences become clearer.

The therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time, enabling quicker check-ins during a lunch break, or allowing sessions from a quieter spot when that is possible. It can also permit shorter practical appointments for skill-building or longer exploratory sessions when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt exercises, mindfulness work and practical tools to an online setting so people can practise between sessions and apply learning to everyday situations.
