About Marilyn

Marilyn Johnson offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to help people make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings. Marilyn is based in the United Kingdom and works with clients in English.

Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the person rather than imposing a set plan.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, with the counsellor reflecting feelings and helping explore options. This steady, respectful style can help when emotions feel overwhelming or confusing. Marilyn draws on seven years of counselling experience.

She has worked with people dealing with family problems, grief, workplace stress, financial worries, and issues linked to attachment and abandonment. She has also supported people coping with infidelity, jealousy, hoarding, narcissism, and young adult transitions. The first meetings are often about building trust and finding a way of talking that feels right.

Marilyn aims to offer a listening space where clients can say what they have not been able to say before. Over time she helps people notice patterns, try new approaches and make practical changes to daily life. She holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

That credential is shown as BACP. Sessions can be arranged online by following the site steps to match and schedule with her.

Sessions & fees

Person-centred support delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is heard and follows whatever is most important to the client. This approach helps when someone needs space to understand feelings, rebuild self-worth or navigate relationship and family issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify what feels most helpful and adjust the way they work based on needs, goals and personal preferences. That shared decision-making helps shape the pace and focus of therapy.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection and contact without a full session. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments.
