About Marlene
Marlene Jenas is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by change, loss, relationships, stress, anxiety and similar struggles. Her practice often covers issues such as depression, grief, addictions, identity and work worries.
Marlene uses a client-centred approach. She focuses on listening and reflecting rather than giving advice. Sessions are 45 minutes long and aim to give space to name difficult feelings and think about next steps.
Clients come for many reasons. Some seek help after bereavement or trauma. Others want support with career pressure, relationship problems, parenting challenges or managing mood conditions such as bipolar and depression. There is also experience supporting people with ADHD, eating concerns and anger.
In practice Marlene keeps things straightforward. She encourages people to speak at their own pace and to bring whatever feels important that week. The work is conversational, with the counsellor offering reflections that help clarify feeling and choices.
For someone aged 18 to 30 coping with the pressures of early adulthood, sessions can focus on practical coping, clearer decision-making and reducing overwhelm. To begin, clients use the site matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the booking flow.
How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is the main approach Marlene uses. It centres on attentive listening and reflecting back what you say. This helps people name feelings, sort out confusing thoughts and decide what to try next. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlene will discuss what feels useful and adapt the way she listens and responds to match your needs and goals. That is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan handed down at the first session.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around study, work and daily commitments. Online options can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and join from a quieter place when that suits. The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm the available online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can then help you choose a format that fits your routine and goals.
