Constantino Costi , BACP

Constantino Costi is a United Kingdom based therapist who brings eight years of private practice experience and BACP accreditation to his work. He combines humanistic and integrative perspectives with practical techniques, creating a therapeutic style that emphasizes warmth, respect, and a strong working relationship. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

He approaches therapy as a collaborative process, meeting each person at their own pace to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Drawing on mindfulness and coaching alongside established models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, he supports clients in understanding patterns from the past, working in the here and now, and setting goals for the future. His training and background include experience with short-term IAPT-informed work using CBT methods, gained through charity practice.

Costi has worked with a wide range of concerns including addiction, abuse, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, self-harm, confidence and self-esteem issues, identity questions, and stress. He describes himself as attentive, intuitive, and hardworking, and aims to create supportive, structured sessions whether someone is new to counselling or has previous experience. His practice focuses on helping people navigate change and move toward a more manageable present.

Approaches and Online Support for Lasting Change

Client-Centered Therapy places the relationship and the person at the heart of work, offering a supportive, non-directive space where clients can explore their experience and develop self-understanding; it is often helpful for issues of self-esteem, life transitions, and identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, using practical strategies to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that maintain distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns formed early in life and how they influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be especially useful for intimacy, attachment, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Constantino will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as the work unfolds so that therapy remains relevant and practical. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to fit the individual rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the client.
