About Marilyn

Marilyn Johnson offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also works with people facing family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression and ADHD. Marilyn writes in plain terms and aims to make the first step feel simple and manageable.

Marilyn uses a client-centred approach, which means she listens without judgement and follows the person’s pace.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on helping people put words to difficult feelings and understand patterns that keep them stuck. She emphasises a calm, accepting atmosphere so trust can grow and honest conversation can happen. Her background includes seven years as a qualified counsellor.

She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP. Over the years she has worked with clients who have experienced bereavement, financial worries, workplace strain, attachment and abandonment issues, and concerns such as infidelity, jealousy and hoarding. Marilyn has also used play therapy with some clients alongside person-centred work.

That variety can help when people need different ways to express themselves, such as younger clients or those who find talk difficult. She aims to help people develop more self-love and clearer boundaries in daily life. The practical side is straightforward.

She accepts international clients and runs sessions from the United Kingdom. To begin, people follow the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions to suit their situation.

How Marilyn works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s pace. The therapist creates space for people to talk about feelings and to explore what matters to them, which can help with stress, anxiety, relationship problems and self-esteem issues. Where play has been useful, Marilyn has combined simple expressive techniques with a person-centred way of working to help people who find direct talk difficult. These methods offer different ways to show feelings and make progress over time. Finding the right approach usually happens together. Marilyn will discuss the kinds of support that suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and agree a way forward collaboratively. That means the style of sessions can change as progress is made. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between other commitments. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, reduce time away from work, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical constraints while focusing on steady progress.
