Marco Schilling

Marco Schilling is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who uses a calm, compassionate approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ways of working to listen closely and reflect back what emerges in sessions. Marco speaks English and German and offers an initial free phone call to answer questions before you start.

He helps people facing problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress and anger. He also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, career changes, parenting strain and issues around self-esteem. Marco is experienced with trauma, bereavement and addiction-related concerns as well as more specific themes like abandonment and attachment problems.

Marco trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and holds a CPCAB diploma. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which guides his ethical practice. His background includes work for the NHS and roles as a bereavement counsellor and support worker.

Originally from Switzerland, Marco has lived and worked in several countries and brings an appreciation for multicultural life to sessions. He also has creative experience in music and television production, which informs a broader view of personal growth and self-expression.

In sessions he offers a reflective, collaborative space. He pays attention to how past relationships shape present patterns and works at a pace that suits the person seeking help. Before booking, clients are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How Marco's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely, accepting your experience and helping you feel understood so you can explore problems at your own pace. It suits issues like stress, low self-esteem and relationship worries where a supportive space helps people think through their feelings.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier relationships and life events shape current patterns and reactions. It can help when problems feel repeated or when deeper roots underlie anxiety, grief or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Marco will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and help decide whether a person-centred, psychodynamic or blended way of working fits best. That choice is made together and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as formats in the biography are not exhaustively listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or study commitments and can reduce travel time. Some formats also let you have shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when that helps, so practical factors can guide which option you choose.
