About Marlene
Marlene Jenas is a counsellor with eleven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She introduces herself simply and plainly, and she focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed or who struggle to name what they are feeling. Marlene aims to help clients reconnect with themselves and find clarity through steady, listening-led sessions.
Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows each person’s pace and priorities rather than imposing a set agenda. Sessions last 45 minutes and centre on giving space to the client’s thoughts and emotions, with an emphasis on empathy rather than instruction.
Marlene hears many people who are dealing with grief, loss, or the emotional effects of life changes. She also supports people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Practical life problems such as career strain, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, and eating-related issues are also within her remit.
She describes the counselling room as a place to talk without judgement or unsolicited advice. If you are unsure what to say at first, Marlene will guide the conversation gently so it feels more natural. Her manner aims to help clients feel at ease and understood.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, and she frames that step as an act of self-care. If someone is ready to start, Marlene offers ongoing support and companionship through the process of change and healing.
How Client-Centred Work Fits with Online Counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a listening space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects what they hear. This approach helps people who are sorting through grief, anxiety, relationship concerns or changes in life by prioritising the client’s pace and perspective rather than offering fixed advice.In practice, that means the counsellor pays attention to feelings, mirrors what is said, and checks in about what matters most to the client. This style can make it easier to express difficult emotions and to build trust at a steady pace, whether the work starts in person or remotely.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide how best to work. If adjustments are needed along the way, they will be discussed and agreed between the client and therapist.
