Marco uses a person-centred style that keeps the individual at the heart of every session. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through painful experiences and start to find their own way forward.
Background and approach
The relationship between counsellor and client is central to his approach. His early career in a fast-paced London advertising agency shaped how he explains complex issues. That background helped him learn clear communication and practical problem-solving skills that now inform his counselling work.
He brings warmth and plain language to sessions. People report that Marco listens closely and focuses on each person’s unique story. He encourages clients to tap into their own resources so they can make meaningful changes.
Conversations are steady and paced to the client’s needs. Marco has worked with issues such as bereavement, workplace stress, attachment and family concerns. He seeks to help people build clarity, resilience and better day-to-day coping.
Therapy is presented as a journey with realistic steps and achievable goals.

How person-centred work translates online
Person-centred counselling focuses on the individual's experience and on building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person discover their own solutions. This approach suits issues such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns and anxiety. A practical, communication-focused approach is also used to help people make sense of complex life situations. That draws on Marco's years in a high-pressure professional setting and helps when work stress, career decisions or chaotic circumstances need clearer thinking and step-by-step planning. Choosing the right approach is part of therapy and is decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt sessions as progress is made. This keeps therapy collaborative and responsive to change. Online sessions offer flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let people use body language and facial cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, travel or busy family life.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
