About Constantino

Constantino Costi offers calm, down-to-earth counselling for people facing difficult life moments. He writes plainly and listens with care, aiming to help each person feel heard and understood. Sessions are paced to the individual so people can talk about what matters most to them.

He brings eight years in private practice and a background in Humanistic Integrative work. That background puts the relationship between client and counsellor at the centre of sessions. Conversations often look at what is happening now, while also allowing space to reflect on past events that keep causing pain.

Constantino uses practical tools such as mindfulness and coaching alongside talking work. He has experience helping people with anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and relationship concerns. He also works with issues around identity, self-esteem, trauma, and stress related to caregiving and chronic illness.

Earlier roles included work with the charity MiND where he became familiar with the Improving Access to Psychological Therapy service and delivered short-term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches. He aims to make sessions straightforward and organised so people leave with clearer next steps.

Clients can expect a warm, respectful, and non-judgemental atmosphere. The focus is on uncovering patterns, testing new ways of coping, and building small habits that make daily life easier. People choose him when they want steady support and practical ideas to move forward.

Approaches that suit online counselling and practical life needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a warm, accepting relationship where the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client's pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. Together you will try things and adjust the plan if something feels unhelpful or unclear.

Please confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day and avoid travel. It also allows for shorter check-ins when life is hectic, or sessions that work around work and caregiving duties. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises such as mindfulness, ACT or CBT worksheets to an online setting so you can practise between sessions and track small changes over time.
