About Marilyn

Marilyn Johnson is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and parenting challenges. She also helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, depression and ADHD. Marilyn welcomes conversations about family problems, trauma and difficult emotions so people can feel heard and begin to untangle what feels stuck.

She works in a straightforward, person-centred way. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her rather than on labels.

Background and approach

Marilyn listens without judgement and aims to build trust so clients feel able to talk about what matters most to them. Sessions are practical and paced to each person. Marilyn helps people name feelings, make sense of patterns and try new ways of responding.

She supports exploration of issues such as attachment, abandonment, infidelity, jealousy and workplace strain in plain language and with patience. Marilyn has seven years of experience as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work with people affected by bereavement, hoarding, financial worries, forgiveness and young adult issues.

Her approach can include play elements when appropriate, and she adapts to the age and needs of each person. International clients may be seen and sessions can be arranged to suit differing circumstances and schedules.

Ways of working Marilyn names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred support online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, mirrors concerns and helps people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and grief because it focuses on understanding feelings and building confidence.

Marilyn combines that person-centred stance with practical conversation. She helps people notice repeated patterns, practise new ways of responding and make small changes that fit their life. Deciding which way of working to use is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree the best path together.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can suit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and facial expression matter. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people send thoughts in writing and fit support around work, parenting or travel. Registered and accredited professionals deliver this range of formats, so people can choose what fits them best.
