About Marlene

Marlene Jenas is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with people who are overwhelmed by emotions and want clearer ways to handle stress, anger, relationships and life changes. Marlene writes plainly and keeps sessions to 45 minutes so conversations stay focused and manageable.

She uses a client-centred approach. That means sessions are shaped around what the person brings each week. Marlene listens without giving unsolicited advice and helps people name and understand feelings that feel confusing or heavy.

Common concerns she sees include grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, bipolar, anxiety and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career strain, anger and communication problems in family relationships.

Marlene offers a steady, conversational style. She helps clients talk through experiences like abandonment, adoption and family of origin issues. Practical steps and reflective talk are mixed depending on what seems helpful in the moment.

Sessions use a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are delivered in English. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the client at the heart of each session. It focuses on listening to what the person brings and reflecting that back in straightforward language. This approach helps with feelings of anger, grief, anxiety and relationship troubles by making space to name emotions and consider small changes in how someone responds.

Working online still follows the same collaborative pattern. The therapist and client review what is helpful and adjust the approach as they go. Together they decide which ways of working to try, and review progress against the client's goals and preferences.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into workdays and family life. Others prefer a shorter check-in when time is limited. Online work can also make it simpler to keep regular sessions during periods of change or travel, while keeping the focus on practical conversation and reflection.
