Marlene Jenas
Person-centred counsellor helping you find clarity
About Marlene
Marlene Jenas is a counsellor with 11 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, patient presence for people who feel overwhelmed by emotions they cannot fully name. Her approach centres on listening and helping people find clarity at their own pace.
Marlene uses a person-centred way of working, which means she focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgement. Sessions are 45 minutes long and are guided by what the client wants to talk about.
Background and approach
There is no pressure to have the right words from the start. Clients commonly come for support with stress, anxiety, depression and the emotional effects of major life changes. Marlene also supports people facing grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, addictions, eating and body image worries, and career questions.
She pays attention to how past family experiences and attachment issues shape current feelings. Her style is warm and steady. She offers space to talk through painful memories such as trauma or abuse, and to work on difficulties like anger, guilt, shame or feelings of emptiness.
Practical day-to-day coping and building self-esteem are part of the conversations when clients want them. For people unsure about counselling, Marlene aims to make the first sessions straightforward. She helps clients set small, manageable goals and checks in about what is working.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred care through online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace. This approach is helpful for people facing uncertainty, low self-esteem, grief or the emotional fallout from past relationships.Marlene focuses on being present and responsive rather than directing the conversation. That means she will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful, whether the emphasis is on talking through difficult memories, building coping skills, or managing day-to-day stress. Choosing the right way of working is a collaborative process and she will adjust the approach as needs and goals change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact and read facial cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer typing or need more discreet, brief exchanges. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and different routines.
