About Constantino
Constantino Costi offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, loss, addiction and other tough life challenges. He presents as a steady, approachable counsellor who listens and helps people make sense of difficult moments. His first aim is to make it easier to talk and to feel heard without judgement.
He draws on eight years working in independent practice and earlier roles with the charity MiND. That charity work included supporting people using short-term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and it gave him experience with NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) pathways.
Background and approach
His background is Humanistic Integrative counselling, which places the relationship between counsellor and client at the centre. Sessions move at the client’s pace while gradually looking at thoughts, feelings and behaviours that have become stuck. He also uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas and emotion-focused work to help with intimacy, relationship strain, grief and trauma.
Practical techniques such as mindfulness and coaching are introduced when they suit a person’s goals. Constantino works with a wide range of difficulties including depression, bipolar, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, career concerns and compassion fatigue. He is comfortable talking about identity, LGBT issues, abandonment and adoption-related topics.
People who want a warm, organised counsellor who combines listening with practical steps often find his approach helpful. He aims to help clients notice small changes in the here and now and build toward clearer choices for the future.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then tailor methods together. Clients are invited to trial techniques and feed back so the plan can be adjusted as needed.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for moment-to-moment reflection, and messaging supports ongoing check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
