Background and approach

He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns. Sessions often focus on practical skills and small steps. Marco may introduce mindfulness exercises to manage stress.

For people affected by past trauma he offers approaches that can reduce distress and help process difficult memories. Marco describes his practice as grounded in empathy and respect. He treats each person as an individual and works at a pace they can manage.

Over seven years he has supported people with mood concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, sleep problems and career stress among other challenges. He accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. Therapy is offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and scheduling is arranged after a short intake questionnaire.

The aim is to help people build confidence, cope with life changes and feel more able to face the future.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections. Online sessions using this approach focus on building a reliable working relationship and exploring how attachment habits show up in everyday life. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours that keep problems going. In an online setting CBT often uses short exercises, between-session tasks and clear step-by-step planning to deliver progress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how symptoms show up, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can change over time as needs evolve, and the choice of approach is agreed together rather than imposed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera is not wanted. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or for those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments while still using structured therapeutic techniques.
