About Marlene
Marlene Jenas is a person-centred counsellor with 11 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people make sense of overwhelming feelings and life changes. Marlene aims to create a calm space where someone can talk and be heard without judgement.
Her approach is simple and respectful. Sessions last 45 minutes and give time to speak at a personal pace. Marlene listens closely and avoids giving unsolicited advice, so people can find their own clarity and direction.
She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar, addictions and grief. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, career uncertainty and eating-related worries. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas for those wanting help with related feelings.
Marlene uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person in front of her. That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client rather than a fixed agenda. The aim is to help people reconnect with their feelings and find practical ways forward.
Starting counselling can feel uncertain, and Marlene acknowledges that worry. She encourages small first steps and guides the pace of sessions so clients feel comfortable. If someone prefers a steady, listening presence while they work through loss, change or personal struggles, Marlene offers that steady support.
How a person-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a listening, non-judgemental presence. The counsellor reflects what you say and helps you explore feelings at your own pace. This approach can be useful for grief, anxiety, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlene will collaborate with each person to agree what feels most helpful. She adapts sessions to your goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people attend from different places within the United Kingdom, subject to the counsellor's location and availability. Confirm the exact session formats and scheduling when you arrange an appointment.
