About Marco
Marco Schilling uses a person-centred and psychodynamic approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings and life events. He creates a calm, compassionate space where people can talk about current problems and longer-term patterns. Marco aims to work at each person's pace and to respond to what they bring to sessions.
He listens for how past experiences shape present behaviour and feelings. That can include grief, relationship difficulties, or recurring anxiety and low mood.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on understanding unhelpful patterns and trying out different ways of relating to oneself and others. Marco has four years of professional experience and has worked in the NHS and as a bereavement counsellor. He has supported people with depression, stress, self-harm, and chronic mental health conditions.
His background also includes roles supporting people with autism and learning difficulties. Originally from Switzerland, he has studied and worked in several countries and speaks English and German. He brings a broad perspective from creative work in music and television production as well as counselling roles.
Marco is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. He offers sessions face to face and online, and a short introductory phone call is available to discuss questions and match therapy to each person’s needs.

How psychodynamic and person-centred work translates online
Marco uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of him, offering empathy, reflection and practical questions to help people understand how they feel. This approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship struggles and managing life changes.He also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how early experiences and past relationships influence current behaviours and patterns. That can help with recurring anxiety, grief, attachment issues and problems that keep coming back despite effort to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which blend of methods fits best. This collaborative process means sessions can shift as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer, more conversational sessions, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while keeping continuity even when schedules change.
