Background and approach

Her approach suits people coping with loss, major life transitions, or ongoing worries that interfere with daily life. She also helps those facing challenges with self-esteem, work stress, addiction issues, or parenting strain. Practical worries like career decisions or problems with intimacy are also within her remit.

Marlene aims to make the early sessions straightforward and undemanding. She will guide conversations gently and allow the pace to be set by the client. If someone is unsure what to say at first, she helps create topics to discuss so the time feels useful.

Beyond talking, she pays attention to how emotions affect daily routines and relationships. The goal is to help people gain clearer understanding and better coping strategies. For anyone feeling overwhelmed or stuck, Marlene offers steady support as they begin to find a way forward.

How Marlene's Person-Centred Work Adapts Online

Marlene practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own clarity. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns by creating space to make sense of feelings and choices.

The therapeutic relationship is treated as a joint process. She works with each person to decide which ways of working feel most helpful, and she adjusts the approach based on the client’s needs and goals. Finding the right method is part of therapy rather than a fixed decision made at the start.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video gives a closer sense of face-to-face contact, phone can be useful when bandwidth or a short check-in is needed, live chat suits those who prefer typing in the moment, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and provide flexibility in how people choose to engage.
