About Marco

Marco Centonze is a counsellor with 16 years' experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief and self-esteem issues. He also supports people facing addiction, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stresses and career or life changes.

Marco works with LGBT clients and those affected by trauma and abuse. Marco uses a person-centred approach that puts the individual's needs and resources first. He aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk honestly and make sense of what they are feeling.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him and on helping them find their own solutions. Before counselling Marco spent many years working in a fast-paced London advertising agency. That background helped him learn to listen clearly, untangle complex situations and communicate with plain language.

He brings those skills into sessions to help people gain clarity and practical steps forward. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, reflective listening and support to explore difficult emotions. The work can include looking at attachment, loss, body image, codependency and issues around ageing, chronic illness or caregiver stress.

Marco also helps people navigate commitment and communication problems and work-related pressures. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP, and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted and sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

How person-centred work translates online

Marco practises person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening closely and helping people access their own resources. In practice this means sessions centre on the client's priorities and feelings, with the counsellor reflecting what they hear and encouraging personal insight. The approach suits concerns such as relationship difficulties, self-esteem and coping with loss.

He also draws on practical conversational skills honed in a high-pressure professional background. That style helps when working through career stress, communication problems or complex life changes, by breaking issues down and finding small, achievable steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will discuss options with each person and help decide what fits best with their goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video mirrors a face-to-face session for deeper conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel and family life while maintaining continuity of care.
