About Marilyn
Marilyn Johnson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She welcomes conversations about self-esteem, parenting pressures, family problems and the strain of life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse and ADHD-related challenges.
Marilyn uses a calm, patient approach to help people make small, practical shifts in day-to-day life. She works in a person-centred way, which means she listens without judgment and follows the person’s pace.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, whether that is managing overwhelming feelings or improving how they relate to others. Marilyn aims to create a trusting atmosphere so people can speak honestly about painful thoughts and memories. Marilyn has practised as a counsellor for seven years.
She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. Her background includes working with a wide age range and with common concerns such as bereavement, low mood, anxiety and family conflict. In sessions she keeps language plain and practical.
Conversations might include noticing patterns, trying new responses and planning small experiments to test different ways of coping. She has also used play therapy with some clients when that approach fits the person’s needs. Marilyn offers appointments from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People who want to explore working together complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a suitable time.

Approaches Marilyn 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
She has also used play therapy techniques with some clients when a more interactive or creative way of working helps. Those techniques can help people express feelings that are hard to put into words and can be useful for exploring family dynamics or strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marilyn will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. The decision about what to try is collaborative and can change over time as people learn what helps them most.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when that suits them. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, written check-ins and can fit around busy schedules or those who find it easier to write than speak. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday commitments.
