Approaches Marco lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the style as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process aiming to match method and pace to the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suits people who prefer writing or need quick check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare and busy schedules while still focusing on meaningful change.
