About Marilyn
Marilyn Thomas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She offers a calm, listening presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her approach is grounded in person-centred practice and focused on helping people feel heard and understood before moving toward change.
Marilyn blends different therapies to suit each person. She often uses attachment-based ideas to look at past relationships and how they shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with anxious thoughts and low mood. Sessions are practical and conversational. Marilyn helps people identify small steps that can reduce overwhelm and build confidence over time.
Work can include talking through communication problems, managing grief or anger, and improving self-esteem. She supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue and life transitions such as separation and divorce. Sexual concerns, body image and kink-aware discussions are also noted focus areas.
Marilyn also helps people navigating ADHD, bipolar mood challenges and trauma-related issues. Marilyn is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
People start by completing an online questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit their schedule.

Online support
Client-centred practice focuses on understanding your experience without judgement. The therapist listens deeply and follows your pace, helping you make sense of feelings and decide on next steps that feel doable.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions this often involves practical exercises and simple tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marilyn will work with you to identify what feels most useful based on your goals and preferences, and adjust the methods as you go along.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are close to an in-person conversation and let you use visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit quick updates, reflective writing between sessions, or people who prefer not to be on camera.
