How Marco uses therapy approaches online

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape how people connect now. Marco uses it to help people understand and change recurring relationship reactions and feelings of insecurity.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. Online work with CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, practising new behaviours between sessions and tracking progress over time.

EMDR is used to reduce the hold of distressing memories by guiding attention while gently processing past events. Marco may suggest this approach when trauma memories are a clear part of the presenting problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marco will talk through options and help decide a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. He aims to make choices collaboratively and to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can work for short check-ins, ongoing support or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue work across distances with registered or accredited professionals.
