About Marco
Counsellor and BACP member Marco Schilling has four years' experience working with life changes, grief, stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. He offers help for depression, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain and issues around self-esteem and anger. Sessions can be conducted in English and German.
Marco uses client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. That means he listens for what matters now and also looks at how past experiences and relationships shape current behaviour. He aims to help people understand patterns that feel stuck and to talk through distressing thoughts and feelings.
He has worked in the NHS and as a bereavement counsellor, and has supported people with chronic mental health conditions, autism and learning difficulties in a support worker role. This range of experience informs how he notices both present problems and longer-standing issues.
In sessions he focuses on clear, practical conversation about what is happening and what someone wants to change. He pays attention to emotions, relationships and recurring patterns rather than only offering quick fixes. Therapy can involve reflecting on recent events and on earlier life experiences.
Marco also brings lived experience of multicultural settings, having worked and studied in several countries. He uses that background when discussing identity, immigration issues and the effects of cultural difference on relationships. If you are unsure how to begin, he asks people to use the online matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
How Marco uses Client-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches online
Marco works with client-centred therapy and psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people name what matters to them now. It is often used for anxiety, stress, relationship concerns and low self-esteem. Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence present behaviour. It can help when people notice repeating patterns, struggles with attachment, or difficulty managing strong emotions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try. That makes the process collaborative and adaptable as needs change. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time and allow sessions from wherever someone is based in the UK. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when a quick conversation helps, while others choose video for a fuller face-to-face style. Registered or accredited professionals often find a rhythm that suits a client's routine and commitments.Areas of expertise
