Marco Schilling
Calm person-centred counselling with psychodynamic insight
About Marco
Marco Schilling uses a person-centred and psychodynamic approach to help people make sense of painful feelings and difficult life changes. He creates a calm, compassionate space where people can reflect on current problems and how past experiences may be shaping them. Marco speaks English and German and brings four years of counselling experience to his work.
He listens for the patterns that show up in relationships, thoughts and behaviour. Conversations focus on what is happening now and where it may connect to earlier experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace the client chooses and aim to increase self-awareness and clearer decision making. Marco has worked in the NHS and as a bereavement counsellor, supporting people with anxiety, depression and loss. He has also supported people with autism and learning difficulties while working as a support worker.
This background gives him experience with a wide range of concerns, including work or career stress and health-related challenges. He also helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, grief, addiction and anger. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, communication problems and feeling isolated or stuck in midlife.
Marco trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. He combines creative interests and a holistic outlook to support personal growth and self-expression. Introductory conversations are available to discuss questions and goals before starting.

Sessions & fees
Person-centred and psychodynamic work online
The person-centred approach prioritises listening and the individual's experience. It involves reflective, non-directive conversations that help people feel heard and understood, which can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and patterns. It helps uncover repeated ways of relating or coping that may cause distress, and can be helpful for grief, attachment concerns and long-standing emotional difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marco works collaboratively to identify whether conversations should focus more on present-day coping or on links to earlier experiences. He will discuss options and adapt the work to match personal goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is suited to face-to-face style conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and messaging can support short updates between sessions. These options help make therapy more accessible around work, family commitments or when travel is difficult.
