About Marilyn
Marilyn Johnson is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and family difficulties. She supports parents and individuals dealing with low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting challenges and the strain of life changes. She also works with people affected by trauma, abuse, ADHD and depression. Marilyn writes plainly and listens closely when someone feels stuck or unable to express themselves.
Her approach is warm and person-centred. That means sessions focus on the individual's experience and feelings. The aim is to build trust so people feel able to talk and be heard without judgement. Marilyn has seven years' experience using this person-centred way of working.
She has worked with children, teenagers and adults, and has used play therapy with some clients. Her background includes supporting people through bereavement, financial worries, family problems and attachment or abandonment concerns. She is familiar with issues such as infidelity, jealousy, hoarding and workplace stress.
Marilyn encourages people to notice what matters most to them and to try small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions are spoken in plain language and focus on practical steps alongside listening. She accepts international clients and offers sessions from the United Kingdom.
If you are a parent worrying about your child, a young adult finding their way, or someone coping with a major life shift, Marilyn aims to help you find clearer thinking and steadier emotion. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy process and complete the short matching questionnaire.
Person-centred work and online support
Marilyn practises person-centred counselling, which means the session focuses on the client's feelings and perspective. The counsellor listens closely and offers space for people to talk about what matters to them, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and family tensions.Where play therapy has been used, it is as a way to help younger clients express feelings they cannot put into words. Play can make it easier to notice patterns in behaviour and to practice new ways of relating for parents and children.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work together with each person to decide what fits best. That means discussing your goals, preferences and practical needs, then shaping sessions around them rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping contact regular while you manage family life or work commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so check current options before booking to confirm how sessions are held. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain progress between appointments and to bring real-life issues into the conversation.
