About Akvile
Akvile Constantinou is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has five years of experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, grief and trauma. Sessions are carried out in English and Lithuanian for those who prefer either language.
Akvile describes a practical, conversation-led way of working. She uses a mix of approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred ideas. In sessions she helps people notice thoughts and behaviours that get in the way and practise different ways of responding to them.
Her background includes a First Class BSc (Hons) in Counselling and clinical work since 2019 with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She also has experience developing mental health projects for vulnerable and marginalised groups. Those experiences inform how she responds to parenting strain, blended family issues and caregiver stress.
In therapy she aims for a straightforward, collaborative relationship. Conversations focus on understanding painful feelings, improving communication and identifying personal values and goals. That practical focus is intended to help people manage day-to-day pressures and make changes that matter to them.
Sessions follow a pluralistic method, which means she draws on different techniques to suit a person’s priorities. People are invited to take an active role in planning sessions and deciding which ideas to try between meetings. This keeps the work focused on real problems at home and in life.
How sessions work
Approaches that guide online sessions
Akvile commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and parenting decisions. Attachment work looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, and can help with communication problems and recurring relationship patterns.She treats finding the right approach as part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by saving travel time, allowing a short check-in during a break, or offering a quieter setting that reduces distractions. Working online still emphasises clear communication, practical exercises between meetings and regular review of goals to keep the work focused and usable.
