About Marlene
Marlene Jenas is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes, and also addresses relationship and family concerns in individual sessions. Marlene lists life purpose among her areas of focus and supports clients wrestling with career questions and identity shifts.
She uses a client-centred approach, which means conversations start from the client's own priorities. Sessions are 45 minutes long and give people space to say what matters to them without pressure. Marlene aims to listen carefully and reflect back what she hears, rather than offering unsolicited advice.
Many people contact her when grief, loss or past restrictions still affect day-to-day life. She also works with issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related concerns, anger and intimacy-related worries. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment and family of origin issues, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
In practical terms, Marlene invites clients to set the pace. Early sessions typically involve getting a clear sense of immediate concerns and what a person hopes to change. Later work can look at patterns in relationships, coping strategies for stress and steps toward clearer decisions about work or parenting.
Her style is direct and conversational. People who are unsure what to say often find the first meetings helpful for sorting out what matters next. To start, clients select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Marlene uses client-centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's perspective at the heart of sessions. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps name feelings and follows the client's lead. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, grief and questions about identity or life purpose.The right approach can take a few sessions to find. Marlene works collaboratively to identify which way of working feels most helpful. She checks in about goals and adjusts conversations to fit the client's needs and preferences rather than imposing a set path.
Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and let people join from different locations within the UK. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can explain available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.
