Constantino Costi, BACP

Constantino Costi is a compassionate, experienced therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings eight years of private practice to his work. He combines a humanistic, integrative stance with practical techniques to support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, and a wide range of other concerns. He is a BACP member - that is, part of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and uses that training and professional background to inform collaborative, respectful care.

Constantino prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and creates a warm, attentive environment in which people can explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns at their own pace. He draws on mindfulness, coaching, and evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when appropriate, helping clients revisit familiar behaviours, process past experiences, and develop new ways of coping in the here and now. His approach is accessible to those new to counselling as well as to people with previous therapy experience.

He has worked with individuals presenting addiction, abuse, bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, self-harm, confidence and identity concerns, and stress. He has also worked with the charity MiND, gaining experience with short-term IAPT-style work using CBT techniques. Constantino aims to create a supportive, goal-oriented space where people can move toward clearer, more manageable outcomes.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter to them. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and challenges that involve avoidance or stuck patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties by working on thinking patterns and coping skills.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, supporting people who struggle with intimacy, trust, or relational wounds. It can help with relationship, family, and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Constantino collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts sessions over time so the work remains relevant and client-led.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support around work, caregiving, travel, or other commitments. These options allow continuity of care and make it possible to maintain therapeutic momentum even when life is busy or changeable.
