About Constantino
Constantino Costi offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief or addiction. He aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk and be heard. He works at a pace each person finds manageable and focuses on what matters now.
He uses an integrative humanistic approach that centres the relationship between client and counsellor. That means sessions begin with listening and building trust. From there he helps people notice patterns, try new ways of coping, and set small achievable goals.
How Constantino works
Constantino draws on several evidence-informed methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioural tools, attachment-informed thinking and emotionally focused work. He blends these to suit the person in front of him rather than following one set method. Mindfulness and coaching techniques are also used to strengthen day-to-day coping.
He has eight years in independent practice and has worked with people dealing with addiction, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression and self-esteem difficulties. Past work with a mental health charity introduced him to short-term CBT approaches and IAPT-style support, which informs his flexible style.
Sessions aim to uncover past influences, address what is happening in the here and now, and build plans for the future. The focus is practical - clearer thinking, steadier mood and more confidence to make changes. Constantino conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions
Constantino uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. CBT techniques are often practical and suit concerns such as anxiety, low mood, sleep and some forms of addiction.He also draws on attachment-based thinking and emotionally focused work to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. These approaches can be useful when exploring intimacy, attachment issues or repeated relationship styles.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree a plan together. He mixes methods where needed and reviews progress as therapy continues.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for in-depth discussion and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can work for people who prefer writing or need flexible check-ins around work or caring commitments.
