About Marco
Marco Centonze helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem problems. He also assists with addictions, eating and sleeping issues, anger, career pressures, parenting strain and coping with life changes. He is experienced supporting issues related to ADHD, intimacy, trauma and compassion fatigue.
Marco uses a person-centred way of working. He focuses on the person in front of him and believes people have inner resources to find solutions.
How Marco works
Sessions aim to create a respectful space where clients can talk, be heard and make sense of difficult feelings. He brings 16 years of counselling experience to his practice. Before counselling he worked in a high-pressure London advertising agency managing big brands.
That background helped him learn to explain complex situations clearly and stay calm under pressure. Marco aims to build a warm, direct and dependable relationship with each client. He concentrates on listening closely and reflecting what he hears so people can gain clarity and move forward.
Practical next steps and achievable goals are part of the work when they are useful. Sessions can focus on short-term problems or on longer-term personal growth. People come for help with specific issues like bereavement or workplace stress, and they also come to better understand themselves and change unhelpful patterns.
Marco works in English and accepts international clients.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Person-centred counselling focuses on the individual and creating a supportive, non-judgemental environment. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person draw on their own strengths to find solutions. This approach helps with low mood, anxiety, relationship stress and grief.Evidence-based talking therapies include practical, problem-focused techniques that help with symptoms such as panic, depression and sleep disturbance. These methods break difficulties into manageable parts and teach skills for coping and communication. They can be useful alongside the person-centred stance when people want structured tools to manage specific problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, consider their goals and try different ways of working to identify what helps most. Clients shape the pace and focus of therapy and the counsellor supports that journey.
Online therapy offers flexibility and fits into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging helps people keep in touch between appointments. These formats make it easier to attend from different locations and at varied times while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
