About Marco
Marco Schilling is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to create a calm, accepting space for people to talk through difficult feelings. He keeps things simple and works at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions are offered in English and German and draw on his experience in bereavement and NHS settings.
He focuses on both current problems and longer-term patterns. Marco listens for how past relationships and experiences might still be shaping day-to-day life. He aims to help people make sense of emotions, notice repeating behaviours, and consider new ways of coping.
Clients often bring worries about anxiety, depression, grief, stress and work or career changes. He also supports people with relationship concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Additional areas he notices include abandonment, attachment, and isolation or loneliness.
Marco trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and holds a CPCAB diploma; he is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His background includes work for the NHS and bereavement services, and he has supported people with autism and learning difficulties while working as a support worker.
Outside therapy he has a creative life in music and television production and speaks from experience of living and studying in different countries. He offers an introductory phone call to answer questions and to discuss how therapy might fit into someone’s life.
How Client-Centred and Psychodynamic Work Translate Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects back what someone says, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk.Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current patterns. It helps uncover repeating behaviours and emotional triggers, which can be useful for difficulties with attachment, abandonment or long-standing relationship issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marco will work collaboratively to identify which style or mix of approaches fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. He encourages questions and aims to adapt the way he works as understanding deepens.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family commitments and the option to choose a quieter or more convenient room rather than travel.
