About Akvile

Akvile Constantinou is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS accreditation and five years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and grief, parenting strain, anger, career uncertainty and adjustment to life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and a range of relationship and attachment difficulties.

Her background includes a First Class BSc (Hons) Counselling degree and practice since 2019. Akvile has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and with complex histories, including childhood trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence and social isolation. She has also been involved in developing community mental health projects for vulnerable groups.

In sessions she aims to build a trusting working relationship and uses a pluralistic style. That means she draws on several approaches and selects methods that fit the person and their goals. Conversations focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and on noticing personal values that matter to the client.

Clients can expect reflective, goal-oriented work that includes practical tools and moments for self-reflection. Akvile talks through options together with each person and invites them to take an active role in shaping their sessions. The emphasis is on clearer self-awareness and manageable steps forward.

She offers work in English and Lithuanian and has experience supporting international clients. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and practical arrangements.

How Akvile uses different approaches in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them and identify values to guide action. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing it through small practical experiments, which often helps with anxiety and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current ways of relating; it can help with attachment issues, trust and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Akvile will discuss the options and decide together which methods suit the client's concerns, goals and preferences. That collaborative process adjusts as progress is made and as different issues come up.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography did not list specific formats. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins or evening appointments. It also lets people take part from different locations and can make it simpler to keep sessions during study, work shifts or relocation. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally adapt pacing and techniques for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
