About Marco
Marco Schilling uses a client-centred and psychodynamic approach to help people make sense of painful feelings and difficult life moments. He aims to create a calm, compassionate space where clients can reflect, talk things through and discover helpful patterns. Marco works in English and German and brings four years of practice experience to his work.
He focuses on both current problems and longer-term issues. That can mean talking about grief, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns or struggles with self-esteem.
How Marco works
He also supports people facing addiction, career changes, parenting strain, sleep problems and the emotional impact of trauma or abuse. Marco pays attention to how past experiences and relationships shape present behaviour. He blends person-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking to uncover repeated patterns, attachment difficulties and feelings tied to abandonment or shame.
Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and give practical ways to cope day to day. His background includes work with the NHS, bereavement counselling and roles supporting people with autism and learning difficulties. That experience informs a gentle, adaptable style that suits people looking for thoughtful, steady support.
Marco also has a creative background in music and television production. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions by scheduling time that works for them.

How Marco’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy is built on careful listening and responding to what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard, develop self-understanding and find their own solutions for anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship worries. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early experiences and past relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. It can help when patterns repeat, when there are attachment or abandonment concerns, or when people want to make sense of long-standing emotional pain.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and practical needs and will adapt the way sessions are run. This is a collaborative process so the plan can change as understanding grows.
Online therapy makes these approaches more flexible. Video calls let people meet face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer writing, need quick access between sessions or want to reflect in their own time. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and busy schedules while keeping the focus on steady, thoughtful therapeutic support.
