Constantino Costi offers calm, direct support for people facing worry and hard moments. He aims to create a space where people can speak and be heard without judgement. Constantino writes plainly and works at a steady pace so people know what to expect in sessions.
He uses a mix of humanistic and integrative ideas to shape his work. That means the relationship between counsellor and client is central. Over time they look at thoughts, feelings and reactions and spot patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Constantino draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people manage distressing thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. He also uses attachment-informed thinking and emotionally focused ideas when relationships and intimacy are part of the issue. Clients who come for help often bring stress, anxiety, depression, grief or difficulties with addiction and self-esteem.
He has eight years of experience and has supported people through trauma, bereavement, anger, identity concerns and parenting stress among other issues. Previously he worked with the charity MiND and gained experience alongside Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services using short-term cognitive behavioural work. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what suits them. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book a session that fits their schedule.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches straightforward strategies to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people who are struggling with relationship or intimacy problems to identify emotions and shift interaction patterns that cause distance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and set goals with the person, then adapt methods to fit needs, pace and preferences. That means sessions can be practical one week and more exploratory the next, depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and facial cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals.
