About Marilyn
Marilyn Johnson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and challenges with parenting or life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, ADHD, workplace pressure and money and financial issues. Marilyn writes in a warm, straightforward way and encourages people to take the first step towards feeling better.
She uses a person-centred approach, which means sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Marilyn listens without judgement and aims to build trust so people can speak honestly. She explains things simply and helps clients name feelings that may have been suppressed or hard to express.
Marilyn has seven years' experience as a qualified counsellor and has worked with children, teenagers and adults. Her work has included supporting people through bereavement, family problems, hoarding, infidelity, attachment concerns and the effects of narcissistic dynamics.
She sometimes draws on play therapy techniques when appropriate for a client's needs. That practical element can help younger people or those who find talking on its own difficult. Across age groups she pays attention to how past experiences affect present choices.
People who meet Marilyn can expect a calm, patient presence and straightforward conversation about goals. She encourages small, doable steps and helps people explore new ways of being without rushing the process.
Using a Person-Centred Approach for Online Support
Marilyn works from a person-centred perspective which centres on listening and understanding the person's experience. This approach means the counsellor reflects what you say, asks gentle questions and helps you find your own answers rather than telling you what to do. It is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns where being heard matters most. She also draws on play therapy techniques when they suit a client's needs. Play-based methods give space for feelings that are hard to put into words and can be useful with younger people or adults who prefer non-verbal ways to process emotion. Finding the right way of working is part of the counselling process. Marilyn collaborates with each person to decide what feels most helpful, and will adjust the style and pace to match goals and preferences. This means the therapeutic approach can evolve as needs change. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, such as taking a break during a workday or joining from a quieter room. It can also offer shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed.
