Marlene Jenas

Marlene Jenas is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She aims to create a calm space where someone can say what they need without pressure. Marlene frames counselling as a chance to reconnect with oneself and gain clarity when life feels overwhelming.

Her work often focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing bereavement, trauma, addiction, anger and major life changes. Marlene listens for what matters most to each person and follows their pace in the room.

Sessions are 45 minutes long and are intended as a time to speak freely without judgement or unsolicited advice. Marlene emphasises empathy and reflective listening, helping people notice feelings and patterns that may be hard to name. She aims to reduce the worry about “what to say” at a first appointment.

People choose this style when they want a steady, accepting presence rather than a directive plan. Marlene’s practice supports exploring family of origin issues, parenting concerns, career worries and challenges such as ADHD, bipolar and depression. She also works with those coping with guilt, shame, infidelity and separation.

Her BACP credential is listed as BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How a person-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy is about providing a warm, non-judgemental space where the client sets the pace. The counsellor listens carefully and reflects back what they hear to help a person notice feelings and make sense of them. This approach is often helpful for concerns such as anxiety, grief, relationship strain and anger because it focuses on the person rather than a predefined treatment plan.

The right approach is something to find together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adjust how sessions proceed. This collaborative process helps match the style of work to what feels most useful for the individual at different points in their life.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone have sessions from a quieter location and reduce the need to be on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
