About me
My name is Antony Constantinou. I am a trained BACP registered Psychotherapist, couples counsellor and clinical supervisor working from my consulting room in Wandsworth, located footsteps away from Putney rail station. 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 at Tavistock and Portman in Psychodynamic psychotherapy and completed training in couples counselling at the Surrey counselling training.
I established myself in private practice after extensive experience within the NHS, charity, and private sector.
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, anxiety and depression and personality disorders.
I have worked in the Wandsworth and Fulham area for over four years, meeting with 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 from 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 make when contacting me. This is to help you understand what you are looking for, the various therapies, or even whether a 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?
People decide to come to therapy with me for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, lack of confidence, or simply feeling stuck. In other situations, they are grieving the loss of a loved one or are struggling with a traumatic event.
Often, people want to learn new ways to manage their stress. This is especially true during periods of change and transition in their lives, such as marriage, pregnancy, parenting, moving, divorce, career change, illness, and other significant life moments.
I work with you to help you better understand your feelings and inner conflicts. Key steps include identifying and connecting unhealthy, repetitive patterns with early life experiences. This will enable you to make positive changes and healthy decisions, reinforcing your strength and confidence.
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.

Member organisations
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.
