About Akvile

Akvile Constantinou is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and other life changes. Her practice also includes help for people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting pressures and blended family issues.

Akvile uses a pluralistic way of working. That means she draws on several methods and chooses what fits each person. Sessions focus on practical conversation, identifying patterns, and deciding small steps that make daily life easier.

She describes her work as collaborative. Clients talk through thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns. Together they identify personal values and goals and test new ways of acting that reflect those aims.

Her background includes a First Class BSc (Hons) in Counselling and clinical practice since 2019. She has provided support for people from a range of cultural backgrounds and has experience working on mental health projects aimed at vulnerable communities.

Typical areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, co-dependency and the strains that come with divorce or separation. She also helps with career stress, compassion fatigue and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

Sessions are conversational and reflective, with options to use techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based approaches when these suit the client's goals. She works with English and Lithuanian speakers and accepts international clients.

How therapy approaches are used online

Akvile commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and deciding which values to act on, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships affect current patterns and help people understand and change those patterns in close relationships.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust them if something is not helping.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only contact when bandwidth is limited or a quick session during a break is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises from ACT and attachment work for remote sessions to focus on practical steps and clearer communication within blended households.
