About Marcos
Marcos Alves Ribeiro is a counsellor who helps people facing money-related stress alongside a wide range of emotional concerns. He supports people coping with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, addiction and grief. He offers sessions in English and Portuguese and works with international clients.
He draws on a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience first. Sessions are conversational and aim to build clear goals together. Marcos also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try new behaviour in everyday life.
With 23 years of professional experience Marcos brings a calm, direct approach. He explains things plainly and helps people break big problems into small steps. He pays attention to how past experiences affect current choices and relationships.
Marcos is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted here as part of his background and professional standing.
In sessions he may work on practical skills - for example coping tools, communication practice and routines that reduce stress. He also offers space to make sense of loss, abandonment issues or identity questions. Marcos tailors his approach to each person's needs and goals.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed steps; it helps people tolerate difficult thoughts while still moving toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own experience and uses empathic listening to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marcos will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits their goals, needs and preferences. That means being flexible and adjusting methods as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find that practical exercises, goal-setting and regular behavioural experiments translate well to remote sessions when the approach is chosen collaboratively.
