About Marco
Marco Schilling uses a person-centred and psychodynamic approach to help people facing work and wellbeing challenges and broader life problems. He is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years of professional experience. He aims to create a calm, compassionate space where people can talk through what matters to them and work at their own pace.
He supports people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and stress. He also helps with career questions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems and addiction issues. Marco has experience with abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and with people facing isolation or life-purpose questions.
Marco draws on past experience in the NHS and bereavement services when sessions look at long-standing patterns. He explains how earlier relationships and events can shape current behaviour. Sessions explore those links in a way that makes sense to each person and helps them make practical changes if they want to.
Originally from Switzerland, he speaks English, German and Swiss-German and brings experience of working in different countries and cultures. He also has a background in music and television production, which informs a creative outlook on personal growth and self-expression.
He works collaboratively and offers a free introductory phone call to discuss questions and fit. Therapy can be arranged in person, by video or by telephone; readers should confirm current session options before booking.
Marco follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and uses an integrative style that blends person-centred listening with psychodynamic exploration.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions. Online sessions can still offer this kind of attentive, non-judgemental listening and help with issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and work stress.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and relationships affect current feelings and behaviours. In remote sessions this can help people understand recurring patterns, grief reactions and emotional responses that affect daily life and work wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt the mix of person-centred and psychodynamic ways of working. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching methods to what the individual finds helpful.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping appointments when travel is difficult. Video can allow face-to-face contact, while telephone may be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so arrangements match your routine and needs.
