About me

Whatever the difficulty, dilemma, challenge, issue or sorrow, I believe you already took the first step towards healing and change by finding your way here. Counselling can help to process, make sense of and move past your struggles in a meaningful and empowering way.
I am experienced, fully insured, and DBS checked Integrative therapist, qualified with a First Class (BSc Hons) Counselling Degree.
My clinical experience (since 2019) includes providing culturally sensitive therapy to clients from diverse backgrounds. I have worked with individuals experiencing a range of psychological difficulties, including work related stress, identity crisis, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, emotional/social isolation and suicidal ideation. I also have a keen interest and experience in developing and delivering mental health projects to vulnerable and marginalised communities.

My way of working involves building on the therapeutic relationship, trust and a collaborative dialogue with you, in aim to sensitively navigate through the labyrinth of experiences in your life and mind. I facilitate a non-judgmental environment and a confidential space to explore and validate your thoughts, feelings and emotions, while cultivating self-development and transformative growth. During the therapy process, you will engage in self-reflection and exploration, thereby enabling greater self-awareness to acknowledge and address difficult feelings, unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns that hold you back or keeping you stuck from moving forward. You will recognise the values and personal goals that are in line with your authentic self and will be able to apply these to unlock your full potential.
I work pluralistically, which means that I draw on different approaches and tailor the therapy to suit your individual needs. I believe that you are the expert of your life and encourage you to be an active participant in the decision-making process that shapes your therapy sessions. A collaborative dialogue enable us to identify your preferences and utilise any personal strengths and (cultural) resources you would consider helpful in meeting your aims and goals.
I look forward to hearing from you so we could begin!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Akvile Constantinou. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I have felt extremely heard and understood having Akvile as my therapist. It has felt extremely reassuring having someone completely unbiased on your side when you are telling her about specific situstions you went through. She is easy to talk to and gave me really helpful advice and the skills that I needed. She was my first ever therapst and she could prove me wrong completely in thinking that going to therapy would be awkward. She also sent me modules to read through that helped me with specific sitiuations we came across during each session. I would strongly recomend her as your therapist.

Akvile has helped me to identify and understand better some of the emotions that I have felt but struggled to deal with throughout my life. I would definitely reccommend her to others.
