Marco Centonze offers help for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction and parenting strain. He has 16 years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. Sessions are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally in English.

Marco uses a person-centred style that keeps the focus on the person in the room. He believes people have inner resources to work through hard times and seeks to create an atmosphere where those strengths can emerge.

Background and approach

Conversations are warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients find clarity and practical ways forward. Before counselling, Marco spent many years in a high-pressure advertising role in London. That background shaped how he listens and communicates - he aims to make complex feelings easier to understand.

He brings calm, direct communication and a practical outlook to sessions. Typical issues he addresses include bereavement, work-related stress, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and trauma and abuse. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship trust and abandonment issues, body image and communication problems.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and small steps that can help. Sessions may be conducted by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Marco keeps the tone respectful and encouraging while helping people decide the next steps for change.

How person-centred work and online sessions fit together

Marco practices a person-centred approach which puts the focus on the individual's own resources and decisions; sessions are conversational and aim to help people notice what matters to them and build on it. This approach works well for issues like stress, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties because it centres on the person's experience rather than on techniques alone.

He also draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help manage anxiety and depressive symptoms, such as structured problem-solving and paced activity planning to reduce overwhelm and increase routine. These tools are offered in plain language and kept simple so they can be used between sessions to make daily life easier.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will try approaches that match the person's needs. That collaborative planning means sessions can shift if something isn’t working.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversation and visual connection, phone calls can be quicker check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited, and messaging lets people reflect in their own time or have shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs.
