Akvile Constantinou, BACP, NCPS

Akvile Constantinou approaches counselling with the belief that seeking help is the crucial first step toward meaningful change and healing. She is an integrative therapist, fully insured and DBS checked, who earned a First Class BSc (Hons) in Counselling. Her clinical work, which began in 2019, has focused on offering culturally sensitive support to people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

Akvile has worked with individuals dealing with a wide range of psychological difficulties, including work-related stress, identity crisis, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, emotional or social isolation, and suicidal ideation. She also has a strong interest in creating and delivering mental health projects aimed at vulnerable and marginalised communities.

Her practice is built around a trusting therapeutic relationship and a collaborative dialogue that helps clients navigate their thoughts and feelings. She facilitates a non-judgmental environment where clients can explore and validate emotions while developing greater self-awareness. Through guided reflection and tailored interventions, clients are supported to identify unhelpful patterns, clarify values and personal goals, and take steps toward the changes they want to make.

Working pluralistically, Akvile draws on multiple therapeutic approaches and adapts them to each person’s needs. She regards clients as the experts in their own lives and encourages active participation in shaping the therapy process, using personal strengths and cultural resources to meet agreed goals. She looks forward to hearing from prospective clients to begin a collaborative path toward growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values. It focuses on accepting difficult emotions rather than fighting them and on committing to practical steps that support a meaningful life; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in connections with others. It helps people understand attachment styles, improve trust and communication, and address relationship or family difficulties and attachment-related wounds.

Akvile works collaboratively with each client to identify the approaches that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options, invite feedback, and adapt methods over time so the therapy remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a licensed professional - by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reach people who live far from in-person services, and continue support through life changes while maintaining continuity of care.
