About Marlene

Marlene Jenas is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the effects of trauma and loss. Marlene also supports people dealing with addictions, eating and intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, career strain, and ADHD-related challenges.

Her approach is client-centred, which means she focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. Sessions are 45 minutes long and give time to talk through feelings without pressure. Marlene aims to help people make sense of emotions and find clearer ways forward.

She often meets people who are carrying grief, uncertainty after loss, or the ongoing impact of past events. Discussions tend to move at a person’s own pace, and the therapist offers reflections rather than directive advice. This can help when someone is unsure what to say or how to begin.

Marlene commonly works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment and family-of-origin problems, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and issues around fatherhood and aging. She also addresses compulsive behaviours such as hoarding and eating-related problems.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients at this time. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a listening stance. The therapist reflects back what a person says and follows their lead. This approach helps with low mood, anxiety, grief, relationship issues and making sense of difficult experiences.

Working this way online means conversations still centre on the person’s concerns. The therapist and client collaboratively decide how to use session time, what to focus on, and whether other methods might help as work progresses. Finding the right fit is part of the first few sessions and may change over time.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove the time spent travelling to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and focus to suit a person’s goals and circumstances.
