About Marilyn
Marilyn Johnson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, parenting challenges and the shock of big life changes. Marilyn also works with issues linked to trauma, abuse and ADHD.
She writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel a little easier for a worried person reaching out. Marilyn offers calm, non-judgemental listening. She prioritises building trust so clients can speak openly about what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding how unexpressed feelings and repeating patterns affect day-to-day life. Her approach is grounded in client-centred therapy, which means she follows each person’s pace and priorities. She aims to help people find clearer ways to name feelings and decide what they want to change.
Practical conversation and reflecting back what she hears are common parts of her work. Marilyn has seven years of experience as a counsellor and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. Over the years she has worked with people who have faced depression, grief, family problems, financial worries and relationship concerns.
She has also used play therapy with some clients and has experience with young people as well as adults. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts people from the United Kingdom and international clients.
Client-centred support online and how it helps
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than a strict set of techniques. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety or unsure about identity and relationships.Marilyn has also used play-based methods with some clients, which can help younger people or those who find it easier to express themselves in activity rather than words. These gentle methods can make difficult feelings easier to talk about and work through.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches and adapt as needed. Together they decide what feels most helpful based on the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expression and tone, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on a busy day, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or those who prefer to write. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life, and to maintain continuity even when travel or location are a challenge.
