Marilyn Johnson is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem struggles. She also helps those facing relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and the challenges that come with life changes. Marilyn offers a calm presence for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward.

She uses a client-centred style that puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. Sessions aim to be straightforward and down to earth.

Background and approach

Marilyn listens without judgement and helps people untangle recurring thoughts and strong emotions so they can begin to make different choices. Her practice has grown from seven years of work with a range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, and workplace or money worries. That experience informs how she responds to each person’s story and practical needs.

Marilyn is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She communicates in English and accepts international clients. Session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different preferences and schedules.

People start by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and booking a time that fits. Fees vary by location and therapist availability and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Client-centred care and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a set of techniques. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own answers. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes where being heard matters.

Marilyn draws on her seven years of experience to adapt the client-centred approach to each person’s needs. She will work together with the client to choose how sessions feel and what to focus on. That collaborative process helps to decide which pace, topics and tools fit best for practical progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or family life and help people connect from different locations.
