About me
Antony Constantinou
Psychodynamic Psychotherapist & Clinical Supervisor
The pain we carry doesn't always show. On paper, everything may work, and yet something aches — a stuckness, a restlessness, a feeling of being a stranger to yourself.
When difficult feelings become too much to bear, we all find ways to defend against them, whether through overwork, alcohol, or other ways of numbing what hurts. These defenses protect us for a time, but they come at a cost, keeping us at a distance from ourselves and from what the pain might be trying to tell us.
I work with people who are ready to understand that pain rather than simply endure or manage it. My approach is relational and in-depth. Together we turn toward what hurts, gently and at your pace, looking beneath the immediate difficulty to the deeper dynamics and early experiences that continue to shape how you feel, think, and relate. Much of what troubles us works quietly, outside awareness, and tends to surface in our closest relationships, including the one we build in the room. It is in being understood, often for the first time, that pain begins to loosen and change becomes lasting rather than temporary.
I work in depth, usually on a weekly basis, with a particular focus on:
● Trauma — the pain we carry from experiences that were never fully processed, worked with carefully and at your pace
● Depression and low mood — including the persistent, hard-to-name flatness or emptiness that can sit beneath an outwardly successful life
● Anxiety — from acute distress to the chronic, background fear that has quietly become a way of living
● Longstanding relational difficulties — the hurt that recurs in relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, and identity, and the sense of feeling a stranger to oneself
My style is grounded, warm, and reflective. Alongside a genuinely non-judgmental space, I will gently challenge where it helps, so that therapy becomes not just a place to bring what hurts but a place where it can begin to shift. Discretion and confidentiality are central to how I work.
I'm a BACP and NCPS registered psychotherapist. My clinical training includes Birkbeck, the Tavistock and Portman, and the Westminster Pastoral Foundation, with experience across NHS, third-sector, and private practice. I also offer clinical supervision.
The most important step is often simply the first. I usually suggest beginning with a brief phone consultation, free and lasting no more than fifteen minutes, to talk over what has brought you here and to sense whether we might work well together. From there, we can arrange an initial assessment.
My fees are set out below, covering individual therapy, couples work, and clinical supervision. I see clients in Farnham, Putney, and online.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
My Approach:
My therapy practice is informed by psychodynamic psychotherapy, which involves exploring a person’s emotional and inner world. I seek to understand the unhelpful patterns of relating and behaviour that can interfere with living a productive and meaningful life. In our work together, I will encourage you to explore emotions, behaviours, significant events and relationships and consider your difficulties' underlying roots or causes.
