About me
Antony Constantinou
Psychotherapist, Couples Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor
Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to face things alone.
You might feel as if something doesn’t quite feel right, whether that’s feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, or finding yourself repeating patterns in relationships or life.
I offer a calm, thoughtful space where you can begin to make sense of things at a pace that feels right for you. We take time to understand not just what’s happening, but how it’s affecting you, and what it may be connected to beneath the surface.
My approach is psychodynamic, which means we look not only at your current challenges, but also at the deeper patterns and past experiences that may be shaping how you feel, think, and relate to others today. This includes paying attention to unconscious processes and the ways early relationships may continue to influence your emotional life and relationships in the present. As this understanding develops, many clients begin to experience greater clarity and the possibility of meaningful, lasting change.
I work with individuals and couples facing a range of challenges, including:
• Emotional and relational difficulties: anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
• Questioning of identity, sexuality, sexual dysfunction, or feeling disconnected from oneself.
• Trauma, loss, and life transitions: becoming a parent, navigating loss, uncertainty about direction, or periods of significant change.
• Complex or longstanding difficulties: addiction, trauma, attachment difficulties, religious and spiritual struggles, eating disorders, and PTSD — where we can work carefully and at your pace to understand and process what you’ve been through.
I often work with people who are thoughtful, reflective, and curious about understanding themselves more deeply. My style is grounded and reflective, combining warmth with gentle challenge to support deeper exploration.
Clients often find they feel at ease more quickly than they expected, and can speak more openly over time. Alongside offering a supportive and non-judgemental space, I will gently challenge where it feels helpful, so that therapy becomes not just a place to talk, but a place where things can begin to shift. Understanding these deeper patterns often creates the conditions for a genuine emotional shift, rather than short-term coping. You don’t need the right words or to know exactly where to begin; we can start wherever you are.
In our first session, often called an initial assessment, the focus is simply on getting to know you and understanding what has brought you to therapy. I will listen carefully to what you’ve been navigating, ask some gentle questions about your current situation and background, and give you space to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. We can also discuss any questions or concerns you have about therapy itself. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer sense of what you’re looking for and whether my approach feels like the right fit for you.
My clinical formation includes rigorous training at Birkbeck, Middlesex University, and the Tavistock and Portman, as well as further specialist development through the Westminster Pastoral Foundation. My clinical career spans NHS services, third‑sector organisations, and private practice, giving me a grounded understanding of both complex mental health presentations and the subtleties of long‑term therapeutic work. I also offer clinical supervision, drawing on psychodynamic and relational thinking, depth‑oriented practice, and years of experience supporting clinicians across NHS, charity, and private settings. My approach is reflective and containing, with an emphasis on helping practitioners deepen their clinical thinking and develop a grounded sense of their therapeutic identity.
I offer sessions in Farnham, Putney, Fulham, and online.
If you are ready to begin, the next step is to book an initial session. It gives us space to explore what’s been happening for you and to see whether this feels like the right place for your therapeutic work.v

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.

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.
