About Marco Schilling
Marco Schilling is a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor who combines a diploma-level qualification in psychotherapeutic counselling (CPCAB Dip) with membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works with both current life challenges and longer-term issues, helping people who feel concerns have been building up, who struggle with underlying thoughts or emotions, or who wish to come to terms with loss or difficult relationships.
He creates a calm, compassionate space for reflection and collaborative work, supporting clients to increase self-awareness and to make sense of how they feel. Marco helps explore how present difficulties can be rooted in past experiences and relationships, and how patterns of behaviour can become counter-productive. He is mindful of working at each person’s pace and responding to individual needs, acknowledging that beginning therapy can feel daunting while also offering the potential for a rewarding process of change.
Marco’s clinical background includes work within the NHS and experience as a bereavement counsellor, where he addressed a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, physical and mental health issues, stress, self-harm, work-related difficulties and chronic mental health conditions. He has also supported people with autism and learning difficulties in his role as a support worker. Common areas of focus include anxiety, depression, bereavement, career and education difficulties, shame and low self-esteem, trauma, self-harm and suicidal ideation, body image, and relational issues such as abandonment and trust.
Originally from Switzerland, Marco has lived, studied and worked in several countries and has a strong interest in multicultural life. Alongside counselling he has experience in music and television production and takes a holistic approach that recognises personal growth, spirituality and self-expression as part of wellbeing. His therapeutic orientation is integrative, combining person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to explore both present-day concerns and the influence of past relationships and experiences. He offers a free introductory phone call to discuss questions and how he might assist, and provides therapy in person as well as via video and telephone in English, German and Swiss-German.
