About Marco
Marco Schilling is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who offers a calm, compassionate space to talk through current struggles and longer-term concerns. He approaches sessions with patience and a collaborative attitude, helping people make sense of thoughts and feelings that feel overwhelming. Marco is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English and German.
He uses person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to look at present problems and the past patterns that shape them.
Background and approach
That means sessions often focus on what is happening now while also noticing recurring themes from earlier relationships and experiences. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and support changes at a pace that feels manageable. Marco has four years of practice experience, including roles in the NHS and work as a bereavement counsellor.
He has supported people facing anxiety, depression, grief, work-related stress, and complex health or learning needs through a range of settings. His background also includes support work with people who have autism and learning difficulties. Originally from Switzerland, he brings international experience and an interest in multicultural life to his work.
He also draws on creative interests from music and television production to inform a broader view of wellbeing and self-expression. Marco is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). To begin, a short introductory phone call is offered to answer questions and consider how to work together.
Therapy is available in person and online by video or telephone.

How Marco's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist follows the person's concerns and supports them to find their own solutions, which can help with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns and low self-esteem. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past relationships that influence current feelings. It can help people understand where strong emotions or relationship difficulties come from and how they repeat over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marco will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then adapt his way of working so it fits each person's needs. That collaborative decision makes it easier to try methods that suit the pace and focus someone wants.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues similar to face-to-face sessions, while phone sessions can be a quieter, lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These formats make scheduling easier around work or family life and help people maintain continuity when travel or relocation would otherwise interrupt care.
