About Marlene

Marlene Jenas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of practice and a BACP registration. She begins by listening closely to whatever feels most troubling, helping people name the emotions beneath their worry. Her straightforward style aims to make the first step feel less daunting for anyone unsure what to say in a first session.

She uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client in charge of the pace and focus.

Background and approach

Sessions are 45 minutes long and offer space to talk through grief, loss, anxiety, depression and the everyday stresses that build up over time. Marlene avoids rushing and steers clear of unsolicited advice, instead reflecting what she hears so people can find their own clarity.

Her work also covers relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and challenges such as addiction, trauma and abuse. Additional areas she addresses include parenting pressures, family of origin issues, communication problems, and intimacy-related difficulties. Marlene also supports people dealing with anger, career crossroads, bipolar and eating or food-related worries.

Sessions aim to be practical as well as listening focused. A typical meeting explores current feelings, patterns that keep causing pain, and small steps to test new ways of coping. Progress is discussed together so each person sets the goals that matter to them.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Marlene offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine and life.

Ways of working Marlene 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 places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. It uses warm listening, acceptance and reflection so each person can say what matters to them. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, relationship stresses and feeling stuck by encouraging people to explore their thoughts at their own pace.

In practice, the therapist will work collaboratively to find the right fit. They will check in about what helps most, whether that is talking more about emotions, focusing on practical coping steps, or combining different formats across sessions. Decisions about approach, pace and goals are made together and adjusted as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people maintain eye contact and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and other commitments, and allow people to choose what helps them engage best.
