Marco Schilling offers a calm, person-centred approach to counselling that pays attention to both present-day difficulties and past experiences. He aims to create a steady space where people can talk through anxiety, grief, depression and relationship or parenting concerns. Marco communicates in English and German and brings four years of professional experience to his work.
He describes his practice as a blend of Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. That means conversations focus on what is happening now while also gently looking at how earlier relationships and events may influence current feelings and patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to fit individual needs and comfort levels. Marco has worked in the NHS and as a bereavement counsellor, and he has experience supporting people with stress, trauma, addictions, sleep problems and identity or self-esteem issues. He has also supported people with autism and intellectual disability in roles as a support worker.
This background informs a practical, down-to-earth way of talking about problems. Originally from Switzerland, he has lived and worked in several countries and values cultural differences in how people understand their lives. Outside counselling he is involved in music and television production, which contributes to a creative outlook on personal growth and self-expression.
Marco is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which guides his professional ethics. To begin, people are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions by selecting the Start Therapy button.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, emphasising listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. Online sessions using this approach aim to give space for honest talk and reflection, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences affect current feelings and behaviours. In online sessions this can mean gently tracing patterns over time and noticing recurring themes that come up in day-to-day life, which can help with deeper issues such as unresolved loss, attachment concerns and longstanding mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will collaborate with each person to decide which focus feels most helpful, and this can change as therapy progresses. He will discuss goals and preferences so the approach matches what the person hopes to get from sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit brief reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus.
