About Marilyn
Marilyn Johnson helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship problems, parenting pressures, ADHD and major life changes. Marilyn works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment issues, hoarding, infidelity and workplace strain.
She uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding. Sessions aim to give people space to say what they think and feel without judgement.
Background and approach
The emphasis is on building trust so honest conversations can happen at a steady pace. Marilyn has seven years of experience as a BACP counsellor. That time included working with children, teenagers and adults on a range of problems.
She has helped people facing bereavement, financial worries and the practical fallout from family problems. In a session she pays attention to what matters most to the person in front of her. She encourages exploration of feelings and practical coping steps.
The work is gentle but direct, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of handling difficult moments. People can expect clear, straightforward conversation and an emphasis on personal choice. Marilyn aims to support clients to find better ways to cope, make decisions and reconnect with a sense of self.
Her approach suits people who want a listening ear plus practical direction.

Online support
Marilyn aims to create a collaborative process where you shape the goals and pace of therapy. She will talk with you about what feels most useful and adjust the way you work together as needs and priorities change. Finding the right fit is something you explore together rather than a decision made for you.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction matters. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or looking at a screen is difficult. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, busy schedules or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
