About Marco
Marco Schilling is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who offers a calm, compassionate space to talk through difficult feelings. He combines a gentle, reflective manner with practical listening. He presents himself as someone who will move at the client's pace and work collaboratively to make sense of what is happening now.
Marco focuses on the ways present problems can have roots in earlier relationships and experiences. He helps people explore patterns that feel counter-productive and supports them when they are facing loss or big life changes. Common concerns he mentions include anxiety, depression, grief and career or education difficulties.
He draws on person-centred approaches to keep the client at the centre of the work. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current reactions. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and open up new perspectives rather than offering quick fixes.
Marco has four years' experience and has worked with the NHS and as a bereavement counsellor. His background also includes supporting people with learning differences and working as a support worker in mental health contexts. He has lived and studied in several countries and speaks English and German.
He describes a holistic interest in personal growth, creativity and spirituality, and brings that alongside practical experience from music and television production. Marco offers an introductory phone call to answer questions and explore whether his way of working fits the client's needs.
How client-centred and psychodynamic work translates online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and focus of the conversation. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and navigating parenting or relationship concerns by emphasising empathy and the individual's own strengths.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier relationships and experiences shape current patterns of thinking and feeling. It can help people make sense of recurring problems such as attachment difficulties, grief or long-standing emotional reactions by reflecting on unconscious patterns and past influences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Marco will explore with each person which way of working feels most helpful and adjust the balance between present-focused support and looking into past influences. This is done collaboratively and shaped by goals and personal preferences.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow short check-ins when a full face-to-face session is difficult. It also gives flexibility for ongoing support when managing bereavement, stress, or life changes while juggling everyday responsibilities.
