About Marilyn
Marilyn Johnson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and young adult issues, as well as relationship strains, grief and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing ADHD, parenting problems and major life changes.
Marilyn prefers a client-centred way of working. Sessions focus on listening and helping people name what they are feeling. She aims to build trust so people can talk about what matters to them without feeling judged.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses the core ideas of Client-Centred Therapy to reflect back what clients say and help them find their own solutions. That can include talking through relationship problems, processing loss, or thinking about work and money stress.
Marilyn has worked across a range of concerns including family problems, attachment and abandonment issues, infidelity and jealousy, and workplace stress. She has also supported people with hoarding, forgiveness, narcissism-related patterns, and building self-love.
She has experience working with children, teenagers and adults in other settings, and has used play therapy with some clients. If you are thinking about starting sessions, follow the service's booking steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first meeting.
