Marco Centonze, BACP

Marco Centonze has worked as a counsellor with individuals and couples for over 16 years, bringing steady experience and a compassionate presence to each relationship he supports. He approaches counselling as a journey that can include discovery as well as challenges, and he remains deeply committed to accompanying people through both the painful and the hopeful parts of that process.

His practice is grounded in a person-centred approach, which rests on the belief that individuals have inner resources to face and overcome difficulties. Marco focuses on creating the conditions that allow each person to explore their experience, find clarity, and move toward resolution at their own pace. He places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and aims to build meaningful, respectful connections that support healing and growth.

Prior to counselling, Marco spent many years working in a high-pressure London advertising agency managing major brands. That background has honed his ability to understand complex situations and to communicate with clarity, warmth, and practicality. Over the years he has worked with people on relationship problems, bereavement and loss, depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and work-related issues. He is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Person-centred care and evidence-based techniques online

Marco brings a person-centred foundation to online work, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship that encourages clients to explore their feelings and strengths at their own pace. This approach supports issues like grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life transitions by prioritising the individual’s experience and capacity for growth.

Alongside that foundation, Marco draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques—practical strategies informed by research that help clients develop coping skills, manage stress and anxiety, and work through patterns that maintain distress. These techniques are used flexibly to match the needs of the person in front of him and the goals they wish to achieve.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marco works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their preferences and goals, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit differing schedules, time zones, and comfort levels. For many people these options make it easier to access regular support while balancing work, family and other commitments.
