About me

My name is Antony Constantinou. I am a trained BACP-registered Psychotherapist, couples counsellor, and clinical supervisor who works from my consulting rooms in Fulham, Surbiton, and Farnham. I also work online on Skype, Zoom, and Teams.

I studied Psychodynamic Counselling at London’s Birkbeck College University and then went on to train In Integrative Counselling at Middlesex University. I undertook further training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Tavistock and Portman and completed training in couples counselling at the Surrey counselling training. After extensive experience within the NHS, charity, and private sector, I established myself in private practice.

I continue to train and commit to continuous personal development to keep up with the code of ethics set by the BACP. I then undertook many pieces of training such as psychodynamic clinical assessment, drug and alcohol abuse, Trauma studies, anxiety and depression and personality disorders.

I have worked in the Fulham area for over five years, meeting people from all walks of life. Before this, I established my practice in the Covent Garden area of London, where I met with people who worked in the city and beyond. In addition to my clinical work in private practice, I provide professional consultation, group counselling, and health assessments within the private sector.

The initial consultation

The initial consultation is the first step you will take when contacting me. This is to help you understand what you are looking for, the various therapies, or even whether talking therapy is right for you. Sometimes, it can even be hard to know what is wrong or whether your concerns are valid. The consultation will support me in understanding you and the best possible path forward through Psychodynamic exploration and assessment.

Why Counselling and Psychotherapy?

In my therapy practice, I work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and feelings of being stuck. Many clients seek my support during significant life transitions, such as marriage, pregnancy, parenthood, relocation, divorce, career changes, or illness. These moments often bring heightened stress and a need for effective emotional management.

As a psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist, my approach is rooted in the understanding that our past experiences significantly shape our present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Together, we will explore the complexities of your inner world, identifying and connecting unhealthy, repetitive patterns to earlier life experiences. This exploration will empower you to make positive changes and healthier decisions, reinforcing your confidence and resilience.

Building a therapeutic environment characterised by honesty and authenticity is vital to my work. I recognise the importance of trust in our therapeutic alliance and am committed to maintaining transparency and congruence in our interactions. This foundation allows us to create a safe space where you can delve into the deeper dynamics of your psyche.

Through our sessions, you will gain insight into the unconscious influences that shape your life, facilitating personal growth and transformation. As your therapist, I guide you through this process with empathy and respect for your unique experiences, acting as a vessel for change.

Counselling and psychotherapy from a psychoanalytical perspective can illuminate the underlying dynamics that drive your behaviour, enhancing your self-awareness and resilience. We will embark on a journey toward healing and self-discovery within a supportive and collaborative atmosphere.

Don't hesitate to contact me by phone or email to set up an initial meeting or if you have any questions or concerns you would like to discuss further.
