About Marlene

Marlene Leach is a counsellor with 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Marlene also supports those coping with trauma, addictions, anger and low self-esteem.

She believes people hold knowledge about their own lives. Her role is to listen, reflect and help people discover strengths they already have. Conversations are focused and practical, aiming to make daily life easier to manage.

Background and approach

Marlene uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the heart of sessions. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings shape close relationships. Existential perspectives are used to help people consider meaning, choice and how to move forward after loss or big life changes.

Sessions are straightforward and respectful. Marlene helps clients talk through emotional pain, relationship patterns and difficult decisions without jargon. She offers support for specific concerns such as grief, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges and coping with chronic illness.

People who meet her can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on practical next steps. Marlene encourages small, achievable changes alongside deeper reflection. The aim is clearer thinking, fewer repeated patterns and more confidence in handling life stressors.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of sessions and focuses on listening, acceptance and helping clients find their own solutions. It suits people who want a supportive space to think things through and build confidence. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close relationships and aims to change patterns that cause repeated conflict or distance; it is helpful for people struggling with attachment and communication. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice and responsibility, which can help when coping with loss, major life changes or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try ways of working that fit a person’s needs and adapt as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and visual connection, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat can suit quick check-ins and messaging works for ongoing, written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while still maintaining regular contact with registered or accredited professionals.
