About Marilyn
Marilyn Johnson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with life changes, parenting challenges, trauma, ADHD and depression. She aims to make the first step feel a little easier for anyone who is unsure where to begin.
She listens without judgement and offers a steady, calm presence. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. The approach is practical and person-focused rather than full of jargon. People can expect straightforward conversation about feelings and everyday problems.
Marilyn works from a Client-Centred Therapy perspective, which means she prioritises the person’s own experience and pace. That style is about building trust and giving people the room to say what they have not been able to before. She uses simple, clear responses to help people name feelings and see options.
Her background includes seven years as a qualified counsellor and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has experience speaking with children, teenagers and adults about depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement, family problems, financial worries, ADHD and autism.
In sessions she may draw on play-based activities for younger clients when appropriate, while keeping work with adults conversational and focused on practical steps. She aims to help people reconnect with a more authentic way of living and to find manageable ways forward.
How Marilyn applies Client-Centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and on being heard. It involves empathic listening and reflecting what someone says so they can find their own clarity. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues and feeling stuck.Marilyn also uses simple conversational techniques to help name feelings and explore everyday problems. For younger clients she may use play-based elements where appropriate, which can make it easier to communicate difficult emotions. These methods aim to keep sessions grounded and practical rather than theoretical.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful at the start. That collaborative process shapes whether the focus stays purely person-centred or includes other practical, activity-based options.
