About Marco
Marco Schilling is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with four years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works with current life problems and longer-term issues, including anger, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and German and aim to help people make sense of how they feel and to think about changes they want to make.
He uses a blend of client-centred methods and psychodynamic thinking. That means sessions often focus on what is happening now and how past experiences and relationships have shaped current patterns. Marco helps people notice unhelpful cycles and the feelings under those reactions, including frustration, resentment or difficulty with intimacy.
His background includes counselling in the NHS and work as a bereavement counsellor, alongside support work with people who have autism and learning difficulties. He has also worked and studied in several countries and draws on that experience when helping people with immigration, cultural adjustment or isolation concerns.
In practice he aims for a calm, collaborative way of working. People can expect reflective conversation, discussion of feelings, and attention to how their past connects with present choices. He offers a short introductory phone call to answer questions and discuss the best next step.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Marco uses Client-Centred Therapy and psychodynamic ideas in his online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and building understanding through the client's own words. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, anger and relationship frustration by emphasising the client's perspective and personal goals.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past relationships influence present behaviour. It can help when anger or control issues seem linked to earlier experiences, by making these links clearer and easier to think about in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will discuss options with the client and decide together what feels most useful for their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the method can change if needed.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and having conversations without travel. The biography does not list specific formats; please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work, or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the agreed format and the client's needs.
