About Akvile

Akvile Constantinou helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and parenting strains using a pluralistic, collaborative approach. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy in her work. Akvile is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with NCPS, and she has five years' experience.

She trained to degree level and holds a BSc (Hons) in counselling. Since 2019 she has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and with a wide range of difficulties, including work-related stress, identity issues, childhood trauma and sexual abuse. Her background also includes supporting people affected by domestic violence, social isolation and suicidal thoughts, and developing mental health projects for marginalised communities.

In sessions she focuses on building a working relationship and a collaborative dialogue. She invites clients to reflect on thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns that feel unhelpful, and to identify personal values and goals that matter to them. Practical strategies from CBT and ACT may be used alongside exploration of attachment patterns and life meaning.

Akvile describes her work as pluralistic, which means she draws on different approaches depending on a person’s needs and preferences. She encourages people to take an active role in deciding what happens in sessions and to use their own strengths and cultural resources where helpful.

She speaks English and Lithuanian and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Akvile uses different approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes by emphasising what matters most and small practical steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It can help people understand relationship difficulties, attachment issues and family dynamics by exploring patterns learnt over time.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and supports self-reflection. It is helpful when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and decide what matters to them next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Akvile will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative decision can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and having more options for quieter or lower-bandwidth contacts. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt session length and frequency to fit someone’s life and commitments.
