About Marlene
Marlene Jenas is a BACP registered counsellor with eleven years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people make sense of difficult feelings and life changes. Her way of working is gentle and patient, aimed at helping someone reconnect with themselves and find clearer direction.
She offers 45-minute sessions where people can speak freely without being judged or rushed. Conversations are led by the client’s pace and priorities rather than a set agenda.
Background and approach
Marlene listens attentively and reflects back what she hears to help clients notice patterns and options. Marlene uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the centre of each meeting. This approach supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, as well as relationship and family concerns and issues around self-esteem.
It also helps people facing addiction, trauma, or major life transitions. Her practice also addresses a range of specific concerns such as parenting challenges, fertility or adoption questions, eating and food-related issues, anger and communication problems, and work or career strain. Marlene pays attention to how past losses, attachment wounds or family-of-origin dynamics keep showing up in daily life.
Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions according to therapist availability.

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
In practice this means sessions are guided by the client’s priorities rather than a strict plan. The counsellor helps people notice patterns, name emotions and try new ways of responding. Together they review what works and shape the work around the person’s goals in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful when seeing facial expression helps the conversation. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text options suit shorter check-ins or times when written reflection feels easier. These options help people fit counselling around work, caring duties and busy days.
