Marilyn Johnson

Marilyn Johnson is a counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, ADHD and depression. Her approach is calm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.

Marilyn uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the pace set by the person in the room. Sessions focus on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. She has seven years' experience as a counsellor and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

In sessions Marilyn encourages openness about difficult feelings such as abandonment, attachment pain, shame or anger related to infidelity, jealousy or hoarding. She also addresses practical worries like money and workplace stress, and supports people working on self-love and forgiveness. Her manner is patient and straightforward, offering space to talk things through.

She has worked with children, teenagers and adults in previous roles and has used play therapy where appropriate. That background informs a flexible approach that aims to meet people where they are. Marilyn welcomes people from the United Kingdom and beyond and runs sessions in English.

How Client-Centred Work Translates to Online Sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client's pace. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions and helps the person explore their own solutions. This approach can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, relationship worries and stress.

Marilyn's background includes working with children, teenagers and adults and she has used play therapy in some contexts. Online work with a Client-Centred focus still aims to create a supportive space where people can talk through feelings like abandonment, anger or shame and gradually find ways to cope with life changes and workplace or financial stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose ways of working that suit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean adjusting pace, focusing on practical coping strategies, or exploring emotional patterns together.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity of care while juggling work, family and other commitments.
