About Marco

Psychotherapeutic counsellor (BACP), four years' experience, working in the United Kingdom. Marco Schilling offers short and longer-term work on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and life changes, using person-centred and psychodynamic approaches in English and German.

Marco uses a mix of client-centred listening and psychodynamic reflection. He helps people look at current problems and how past relationships or experiences may have shaped recurring patterns. Sessions aim to create space to talk through feelings, make sense of reactions, and consider different ways of responding.

He has worked in NHS settings and as a bereavement counsellor, and has supported people with depression, stress, self-harm thoughts, and grief. Marco has also worked in roles supporting people with autism and learning difficulties, so he is used to a range of presenting needs and ways of communicating.

Born in Switzerland, Marco has lived and studied in several countries and brings experience of multicultural contexts. Outside counselling he works in music and television production and draws on creative interests when that is useful to a person’s practical work.

Marco is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers an initial phone call to answer questions and explain how he works. To book, users follow the platform steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches shape remote work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, helping them to clarify feelings and make their own decisions. This approach is useful for stress, low mood and relationship concerns where being understood helps thinking become clearer.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that may come from past relationships and early experiences. It helps people notice repeated reactions and consider how those patterns affect current life, which can be helpful for long-standing difficulty with attachment, trust or repeated relationship problems.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Marco will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and choose ways of working that fit those aims. He reviews progress and adapts the focus as the work develops.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options on this profile. In general, online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer options when travel is difficult, and allow shorter check-ins or sessions without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can vary how they run remote sessions, so check the exact formats Marco offers when you arrange the first meeting.
