About Marlene
Marlene Jenas is a BACP-registered counsellor with 11 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, grief, and issues such as addiction, trauma and eating difficulties.
Marlene uses a client-centred approach. Sessions are 45 minutes and give people space to speak without interruption. She encourages straightforward conversation and helps clients put feelings into words when they feel unclear or overwhelming.
Many clients come because they feel weighed down by past losses, restrictions or relational problems. Marlene listens for what matters most to each person and follows the pace they set during the session. This can help when someone is figuring out changes in career, parenting roles, or relationship patterns.
She also works with concerns linked to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and fatherhood issues, along with guilt and shame. The work often involves talking through painful memories and current reactions to understand how they affect day-to-day life.
Marlene asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How Client-Centred Work Translates Online
Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience first, with the therapist listening without giving unsolicited advice. Online or remote conversations use the same stance: the counsellor reflects what is said, helps name emotions, and follows the pace the person sets. This approach can help with grief, relationship worries, guilt and shame by allowing careful, sustained talk about painful experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust the way sessions run based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape whether more focused topics or open conversation will be used over time.
The biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find speaking by voice alone is less demanding, while others prefer a full conversation that mirrors an in-person session. Registered or accredited professionals aim to help sessions fit into everyday life without adding extra burden.
