About Marco
Marco Schilling offers a calm, person-focused approach to therapy. He is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works in English and German and brings four years of practice in counselling roles.
He uses client-centred methods to focus on what matters now. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Sessions aim to help people notice repeating behaviours, understand feelings, and make small changes that feel manageable.
Background and approach
Marco has experience working for the NHS and as a bereavement counsellor. He has supported people with depression, anxiety, grief, stress, self-harm and work-related difficulties. He has also worked alongside people with autism and learning differences when supporting day-to-day needs.
People often come to him when life feels overwhelming or when loss and relationship problems are hard to cope with. He offers a straightforward space to talk, reflect and try new ways of handling things. Marco keeps a gentle pace and works collaboratively so the process suits each person.
Originally from Switzerland, Marco has lived and studied in several countries. He brings a creative background in music and television production and an interest in spirituality and self-expression to his work. He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging as well as in-person meetings in the United Kingdom.
To begin, a short introductory phone call can help answer questions and see whether his way of working fits the person seeking help.

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.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences and together they will decide which elements to emphasise. The process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around daily life and allow continuity if travel or work patterns change.
