Marco Centonze , BACP

Marco Centonze is a UK-based counsellor with more than 16 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through challenging life moments. He practices with a person-centred stance, believing that each person has inner resources that, given the right conditions, can be accessed to resolve difficulties and find greater peace. Marco places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of his work and aims to create a warm, respectful space where clients can explore painful or difficult experiences and discover new perspectives.

He brings to counselling a background of many years working in a high-pressure London advertising agency, where managing major brands helped him develop skills in understanding complex situations and communicating clearly. That experience informs his clinical practice and his ability to offer practical, empathic guidance that supports clarity and growth.

Marco has worked with a range of issues including relationship problems, bereavement and loss, depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and work-related stress. He holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers an approach focused on the uniqueness of each individual and the possibilities for healing and change.

Person centred care and evidence-based techniques online

Marco works from a person centred perspective, which means he focuses on the individual's experience and supports clients to access their own resources for change. This approach emphasises empathy, respect, and a collaborative relationship that helps people explore feelings like grief, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. In addition, he draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to offer practical strategies and skills that can help manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning without replacing the person centred foundation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. Marco will work with each person to identify their needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt methods accordingly so the work feels relevant and achievable. The therapeutic relationship and ongoing discussion guide which techniques are used and when adjustments are needed.

Online therapy with Marco is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from a licensed professional regardless of location, and they allow clients to choose the format that best suits their comfort and lifestyle.
