About Marilyn

Marilyn Johnson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. She also supports those handling self-esteem issues, parenting challenges, ADHD and trauma-related concerns. She speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Marilyn uses a client-centred way of working. That means she focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting what a person brings to the room. Sessions aim to give people space to name difficult feelings and to think about small, practical steps forward.

Background and approach

She has seven years' experience as a qualified counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Marilyn has worked with a wide range of issues including family problems, bereavement, attachment questions and workplace stress. Her background includes supporting people with ADHD and autism-related concerns.

In sessions she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere. People can expect a warm, steady presence and time to talk through what matters most. This approach is suited to those who want to explore feelings, make sense of painful experiences and try out new ways of coping.

Marilyn has previously used play approaches with some clients and adapts how she works to fit each person. She encourages honest conversation, gradual goal setting and practical coping strategies. The focus is on helping people feel more like themselves again.

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.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person says. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore painful feelings, trauma and relationship issues. This approach helps when someone needs time to be heard and to make sense of difficult experiences.

Marilyn adapts client-centred methods to different online formats so sessions still feel conversational. She will work collaboratively to find the best way of working, checking in about goals and preferences as therapy progresses. Together they decide whether to focus on emotional exploration, practical coping strategies or a mix of both.

Online work can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what fits a person's routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat offers a quicker check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, family or travel.
