About Marilyn

Marilyn Johnson is a person-centered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence for people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and other life transitions. Marilyn works with children, teenagers, and adults and has supported clients facing challenges such as depression, ADHD, autism, family conflict, financial worries, bereavement, and trauma and abuse.

Her training includes accreditation with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she practices from a client-centered framework that emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect for each person’s pace and priorities. In some cases she has also used play therapy techniques when working with younger clients to help them express feelings and process experiences in an age-appropriate way.

Marilyn aims to create a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows people to explore difficult thoughts and suppressed emotions safely and to reconnect with a more authentic sense of self. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify goals and find practical ways forward while acknowledging that change can feel slow or uncertain. Marilyn welcomes clients who are seeking support with life changes, family matters, parenting, workplace issues, and self-development.

Client-Centered Support and Accessible Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects understanding. This approach helps people work through concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and coping with life changes by emphasizing the client’s own strengths and insights. Marilyn has also incorporated play therapy techniques with younger clients to help them express emotions and process experiences in ways that feel natural and age-appropriate.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Marilyn takes a collaborative stance - she will listen to a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods together to find the best fit. That collaboration helps shape sessions that feel useful and sustainable over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles. For many people, the ability to access licensed professionals remotely makes it easier to stay consistent with therapy and to integrate support into everyday life.
