About Me
I'm Constantinos — Costa for short. I'm a BACP Accredited CBT Psychotherapist based in Edinburgh, and I work with individuals and couples who are going through some of the harder parts of life.
​
I came to therapy the same way many of my clients do — not because everything had fallen apart, but because something wasn't quite right and I couldn't work out why. Therapy changed that for me. It helped me understand myself better, worry less about what others thought, and live more freely. That experience is a big part of why I do this work — and why I take it seriously.
In our sessions, you'll find a space that's warm, confidential, and free from judgement. I use CBT as my foundation because it's practical and evidence-based — it gives us real tools to work with. Where it's helpful, I draw on other approaches too, including Attachment Theory and IFS, always shaped around what you actually need rather than a fixed plan.
​
I work with adults and couples, online and in person in Edinburgh, in English and Greek. Sessions are available seven days a week, including evenings.
My Qualifications
Being BACP Accredited means I've met the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's rigorous standards for training, experience, and ongoing professional development — it's one of the most respected marks of quality in the profession.

My approach
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model. CBT gives us a solid, evidence-based starting point — practical tools for understanding how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. From there, I draw on whatever else is most useful for you, whether that's exploring relationship patterns through Attachment Theory, working with different parts of your experience through IFS, or simply going at a pace that feels right.
​
Most people find that having a space where they can be completely honest — without worrying about the reaction — is itself something they haven't had before. That's what I try to offer.
