About Marlene
Marlene Jenas is a counsellor with eleven years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works from a person-centred approach and aims to help people make sense of strong feelings and confusing life moments. Sessions run for 45 minutes and focus on listening and understanding rather than giving advice.
Marlene holds BACP as a professional credential. Her way of working is calm and steady. She offers space to talk about stress, anxiety, depression and mood conditions such as bipolar.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and eating concerns. Parenting is one of the areas she lists, and she can help with the strain and decisions that come with caring for others. Marlene is also experienced with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, infidelity and the fallout of separation or divorce.
She helps people who struggle with self-esteem, guilt, shame, anger and feelings of emptiness. Career worries and compassion fatigue are also within her focus. Her practice includes work on attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, fatherhood issues, ageing and geriatric concerns, and family of origin problems.
She listens for the story behind the presenting issue and follows the pace set by the person in the room. People can meet her online in video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. The emphasis is on helping someone find clarity, regain balance and make small, manageable changes to how they cope day to day.

How Marlene’s Approach Fits Online Work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgmental space where the person leads the conversation. It is useful for people coping with anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and life transitions because it prioritises listening and understanding over giving directions.Using this approach online means the counsellor follows the client’s lead while offering steady presence through conversation. Together they clarify what matters, set small goals, and check what helps most as therapy progresses. Deciding on the best approach is collaborative and shaped by the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than being imposed from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write things slowly, need a shorter paced conversation, or want brief check-ins between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and help fit support into everyday life.
