About Marlene
Marlene Jenas brings 11 years of experience as a BACP-registered counsellor. She offers a calm, steady presence for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure about their emotions. Marlene writes simply and listens closely so clients can find words for what feels unclear.
Her practice puts the person at the centre of the work. Sessions are 45 minutes long and focus on letting people talk without judgement or directions. The aim is to help clients reconnect with themselves and gain clarity about feelings, relationships and life changes.
Background and approach
Marlene commonly helps people processing grief, loss and the ongoing effects of past restrictions. She also supports those facing stress, anxiety, depression and mood challenges such as bipolar, as well as concerns around addiction, eating and intimacy. Practical life issues like career strain, parenting and communication problems are also part of her remit.
Her approach is client-centred, which means she follows what matters most to each person in the room. Sessions give space for reflection, for naming difficult feelings such as guilt or shame, and for working through relational wounds like abandonment or infidelity. The work can include thinking about family of origin issues and fatherhood concerns.
Marlene works in English and does not take international clients. If you are considering counselling, she asks that you use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book according to available times. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Marlene works online
The emphasis is on empathy, acceptance and genuine listening. The therapist supports people to explore emotions at their own pace and to find their own solutions rather than giving advice. This approach can be especially useful for grief, anxiety, depression and identity questions.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will shape sessions around those factors. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as the work develops.
The original biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy lives, save travel time and make it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed and can suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth situations.
