About Marco
Marco Schilling practises an integrative approach that combines client-centred work with psychodynamic ideas. He offers a calm, compassionate space where people can talk about current struggles and long-standing issues. Marco aims to help clients notice patterns, make sense of feelings, and find more helpful ways of relating to themselves and others.
People come for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, stress and difficulties at work. He also supports those dealing with addictions, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Additional areas he has worked with include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication difficulties and immigration-related stress. Marco has practised in the United Kingdom for four years. His background includes counselling within the NHS and bereavement services, and prior roles supporting people with chronic mental health needs and learning difficulties.
He brings experience from work across different cultural settings and speaks English and German. In sessions he works collaboratively and at a pace the client can manage. He draws on person-centred listening to build understanding now, while psychodynamic ideas help explore how past relationships influence present patterns.
Practical concerns such as career changes, parenting strain and coping with life transitions are addressed alongside emotional processing. Marco holds a CPCAB Diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, clients complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches Marco lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Marco works online
He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. This can help when unhelpful patterns repeat, or when grief and attachment issues are linked to earlier life events.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Marco will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then adapt how sessions proceed. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively whether to focus more on immediate coping, deeper exploration, or a mix of both.
Session formats were not exhaustively specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel and can reduce the time spent commuting. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and the choice to use audio-only if preferred and bandwidth is limited.
