Marco Pilia - online

My journey to psychotherapy began through two decades in military and civil aviation, where I worked across continents and cultures. This international experience - having lived and worked in multiple countries - shaped my understanding of human diversity and resilience. It also sparked my passion for inner healing and transformation.

I bring over a decade of therapeutic experience, including extensive volunteer work with LGBTQ+ charities like London Friend, THT, and a Crisis Café. As a gay therapist myself, I deeply understand the complexities of identity, sexuality, and relationships within our communities. I've also worked extensively with refugees and people from diverse cultural backgrounds, bringing genuine multicultural sensitivity to my practice.

My integrative approach draws from psychoanalytic depth, existential exploration, and humanistic warmth. I've specialized in GSRD therapy with additional training in ACT, DBT, NLP, and solution-focused approaches. I'm especially passionate about supporting clients with body image concerns and addiction (including Chemsex). I am knowledgeable and familiar with BDSM/kink and polyamorous/non-monogamous relationships. Currently, I also lecture on hypnosis and psychoeducation at CIPA counselling school at Tor Vergata University in Rome, focusing on relationships and diversity.

I work with young adults, adults and seniors.

As an Advanced Accredited GSRD Therapist (Pink Therapy), I work with identity and sexuality, gender-fluidity and diversity issues, internalised phobias, anger and lighter forms of verbal aggression, HIV+, HAART, HRT, and Chemsex support.
