About Marco
Marco Centonze is a counsellor with 16 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He uses a warm, person-centred style that aims to make clients feel heard and understood. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to the individual.
Marco works in English and offers support to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Marco sees counselling as a journey that can bring discovery as well as challenge.
Background and approach
He believes people already hold many strengths and resources, and his role is to help them access those strengths. That person-centred viewpoint means conversations are directed by the client’s needs rather than a rigid protocol. Before counselling work, Marco spent many years in a high-pressure London advertising agency.
That background shaped his ability to clarify complex problems and to communicate clearly under stress. He brings that same plain-speaking approach into sessions, helping clients untangle confusing issues and find practical next steps. Common topics he has supported include bereavement and loss, self-esteem, work-related pressures, sleep and eating concerns, addiction, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
He also works with people coping with life changes, ADHD, caregiver stress and communication problems. Marco is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, and accepts international clients.
To begin, a short questionnaire is completed and meetings are scheduled to suit the client’s availability.

Online support
He also draws on practical, clarity-focused methods developed through his prior workplace experience. These techniques help people break down complex problems into manageable steps, useful for work-related stress, decision-making and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marco will work with each person to identify which style or combination of techniques fits their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the way they work as progress unfolds.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be quieter and avoid screens. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caregiving commitments.
