Akvile Constantinou, BACP, NCPS

Akvile Constantinou offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, life changes and relationship strain. She greets concerns plainly and focuses on helping clients make sense of difficult feelings. Her approach is collaborative and aimed at helping people move forward in ways that matter to them.

She qualified with a First Class Bachelor of Science with Honours in Counselling and has practised since 2019, giving her five years of experience working in diverse settings. Her background includes work with clients experiencing workplace stress, identity difficulties, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, depression and anxiety. She has also been involved in mental health projects for people from marginalised communities.

In sessions she builds trust first and then helps people notice patterns that hold them back. Conversations are non-judgemental and focus on self-reflection, practical choices and small steps. Clients work on recognising their values and goals, and on ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Her practice is pluralistic, which means she draws on several evidence-based approaches and tailors them to each person. Akvile encourages people to take an active role in planning therapy and uses cultural strengths that are meaningful to the client. This makes therapy feel more relevant and useful.

She offers work in English and Lithuanian and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to the therapist's process and availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Akvile commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports taking action guided by personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, and it can help with trust, closeness and repeat relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques so they fit the person's life and concerns. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, reduce time spent getting to appointments, and allow meetings from different locations. Some formats are better for short check-ins or when video is not possible, while others suit longer reflective work; confirm the options to find what suits your routine best.
