About Marco
Marco Centonze is a counsellor with 16 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. He also supports those dealing with relationship strains, self-esteem difficulties, addictions and issues linked to identity and intimacy. Marco works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including for international clients.
Marco follows a person-centred way of working that puts the individual at the heart of the room. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them and draw on their own strengths.
Background and approach
He believes the relationship between counsellor and client is where change often begins. His background includes many years managing high-pressure projects in a London advertising agency. That experience shaped his ability to make complex situations clearer and to communicate in a warm, practical way.
He brings that straightforward style into sessions when helping people tackle work-related stress, career concerns and coping with life changes. Marco has supported people with trauma, loss, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. He focuses on the person in front of him rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Sessions aim to help people find practical steps, regain perspective and build on what already works for them. People who choose Marco can expect steady, respectful listening and a collaborative approach. He works through issues at a pace the client feels comfortable with, helping them move towards clearer thinking and greater emotional balance.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Marco works from a person-centred foundation which focuses on listening, empathy and the client's own resources. This approach helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin by prioritising their experience and pacing work to what they can manage.He also draws on evidence-based techniques that help make thinking and behaviour clearer and more manageable. For example, structured strategies can break down overwhelming problems into small, practical steps to reduce anxiety and improve coping. Another common technique involves exploring emotional responses and patterns to help people understand and shift unhelpful habits that affect relationships, sleep or appetite.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities and then suggest ways forward. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual connection. Phone calls can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support without scheduling a full session. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside daily life.
