Marilyn Thomas

Marilyn Thomas is a counsellor who combines person-centred care with practical therapy tools. She has five years' experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Marilyn works to make sessions feel approachable and straightforward so people can start making small changes quickly.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. That might mean listening and reflecting in a person-centred way, using cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, or drawing on attachment ideas to look at how past relationships affect present ones. The choice depends on what the person wants to work on and how they prefer to try things.

Marilyn supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, sexual and psychosexual issues, and communication problems. She also helps with grief, trauma, career changes, ADHD-related struggles and building self-esteem. Anger, compassion fatigue and challenges around caregiving are included in her focus areas.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Marilyn helps people set small goals, try new ways of coping, and review what is or is not working. She encourages clear, honest conversation and practical steps that fit everyday life.

Marilyn is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and can work with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Marilyn's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. Online sessions can let people talk through these patterns and practise different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflection and supporting a person's own pace of change; it is useful when someone needs a calm space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thought patterns and try new responses for anxiety, low mood and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marilyn works collaboratively to decide what fits each person's needs and goals. She will discuss options, try methods in session, and review what helps so adjustments can be made together.

Session format details are not listed here, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a busy day, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to attend from a different location or time zone when international arrangements are required.
