About Marlene
Marlene Leach is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Marlene also supports those dealing with trauma, abuse, addictions and issues around self-esteem.
She believes each person knows their story best and brings that knowledge into the room. Sessions focus on listening carefully and helping people use their own strengths to move forward. Marlene aims to create space where someone can talk through painful events and begin to make changes.
Background and approach
Her work draws on client-centred ways of working that keep the person’s needs central. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. Existential approaches help people face big life questions and find meaning during change.
Marlene has supported people with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, chronic illness issues and codependency. She pays attention to how past attachments and abandonment experiences can affect present behaviour and relationships. Sessions are conversational and practical.
People can expect to explore feelings, try new ways of communicating, and set steps they can try between meetings. Marlene speaks English, Italian and Maltese, and she sees both UK and international clients.

Approaches Marlene lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings inside close relationships. It helps people recognise patterns, talk about emotions more clearly, and try different ways of connecting. This can be helpful for relationship strain, attachment difficulties and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. They can adapt methods over time so sessions match what the person needs in that moment.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face from different places, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments.
