About Marilyn
Marilyn Johnson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those dealing with life changes, parenting challenges, workplace issues and concerns linked to ADHD. Marilyn aims to make first conversations easier and less daunting for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
She uses a person-centred approach to keep sessions focused on each person’s experience. That means she listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client. In sessions she encourages honest expression and works to build trust so people can talk about painful or confusing feelings without feeling judged.
Marilyn has seven years of experience as a counsellor and holds BACP status, which is recorded here as BACP. Her background includes work with people managing depression, trauma and abuse, family problems, bereavement and financial worries. She also has experience supporting people with ADHD and autism and has used play therapy with some clients.
Practical concerns such as hoarding, infidelity, jealousy, money problems and workplace stress are part of her caseload. She also helps with attachment and abandonment issues, forgiveness and building self-love. Marilyn aims to help people rediscover a more authentic way of living by talking through what matters to them.
Sessions are conducted from her United Kingdom practice and are offered in English. International clients are accepted; please confirm current session options before booking.
How person-centred work fits with online therapy
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, helping them talk through feelings, life changes, grief and relationship concerns. This approach is useful when people need time and space to explore thoughts at their own pace.Another element Marilyn uses is simple, practical talking therapy aimed at day-to-day problems like workplace stress, money worries and parenting strain. It concentrates on what matters now and on finding clearer ways to cope rather than on complex techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try different ways of working until a fit is found. That process is collaborative and adjusted to each person’s needs.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and allow people to join from different locations, including international clients where this is supported. Because the original profile did not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking to make sure they match your routine and needs.
