Background and approach

He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships and patterns may influence current feelings and behaviour. Marco has four years' experience and has worked in the NHS and as a bereavement counsellor. He has supported people with long-term and short-term concerns, including chronic mental health needs and learning differences during his time as a support worker.

His background also includes work in music and television production and life in several countries, which informs a multicultural outlook. Sessions may cover practical coping strategies for daily life, processing loss, talking through relationship and attachment concerns, or making sense of recurring patterns. He aims to match the pace to the person's needs and to work collaboratively on goals they find meaningful.

Marco is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which guides his professional practice. He offers a short introductory phone call to answer questions and to consider whether his way of working fits the client's needs.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and emphasises empathy, listening and collaboration. It helps when someone needs space to be heard, to clarify feelings, and to build practical ways of coping with anxiety, stress or life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence current patterns. A short series of conversations can make it easier to spot repeated behaviours and to make different choices in relationships and daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will discuss goals and preferences and agree on a collaborative plan. He adapts the balance between present-focused support and exploring past influences to suit each person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets you use visual cues in longer sessions, phone calls can be a simpler low-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These formats increase flexibility and help people access steady support without travel.
