About Marlene
Marlene Jenas is a counsellor offering person-centred support to people feeling overwhelmed by emotions. She draws on 11 years of experience and works from a caring, non-judgemental stance to help people find clarity. Sessions are 45 minutes and focus on what matters to the individual.
Marlene provides a calm space for people to talk through grief, loss and life changes. She also helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and mood conditions such as bipolar.
Background and approach
Practical worries like work, parenting and career concerns are also part of her work. Her approach puts the person at the centre. She listens closely and follows the client’s pace rather than directing the conversation.
That means conversations stay focused on what the client wants to address, whether that is relationship problems, healing from trauma, or coping with addiction. Sessions give room to name difficult feelings such as guilt, shame, abandonment or emptiness. Marlene also supports people dealing with eating issues, intimacy concerns, infidelity, and family of origin problems.
She attends to the emotional impact of adoption and fostering, ageing, and fatherhood challenges. Based in the United Kingdom, Marlene is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers counselling in English and does not take international clients.
Practical session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Ways of working Marlene names
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 adapted for online sessions
This counsellor primarily uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers an accepting space where people can talk at their own pace, which can help with grief, relationship issues, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm.Her practice also emphasises practical, person-led conversations. That means she follows the client’s lead to identify what matters most and helps people find small, usable steps forward for issues like coping with life changes, addiction, or work stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the way sessions run if needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or a short slot. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on what the client wants to address.
