About Constantino
Constantino Costi offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. He recognises how hard it can be to ask for help and aims to make those first steps easier. The tone in sessions is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on being listened to and understood.
He describes his work as rooted in a humanistic integrative approach. That means the relationship between counsellor and client is central. Sessions move at the client’s pace while gently looking at thoughts, feelings and everyday patterns that cause distress.
Costi uses practical tools such as mindfulness and coaching techniques alongside talking work. He can support people trying to manage anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also addresses issues around trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, sleep and eating problems, and neurodiversity-related matters such as autism and ADHD.
His background includes eight years in private practice and experience with the charity MiND. Through that work he became familiar with the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies pathway and short-term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which informs some of his brief intervention skills.
People who come to him can expect a steady, organised approach that aims to make daily life more manageable. He encourages exploring the past when it helps, working with the here and now, and setting practical steps towards change.

How his approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it suits people coping with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves spotting patterns between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and trying practical experiments to change those patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and some eating or addictive behaviours. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotions and the needs behind them, which can be useful for people struggling with relationship difficulties and attachment-related pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then they will decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process means approaches may shift as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, avoid travel time and keep appointments during work breaks or when mobility or long journeys are difficult. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and can accommodate people who prefer not to be on camera for every meeting.
