How Marlene works
Sessions are designed so people can talk about grief, loss, changes, or day-to-day worries in a way that suits them. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and mood conditions such as bipolar. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, eating and food-related concerns, and struggles with self-esteem.
Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment difficulties and family of origin problems. Marlene is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She offers therapy in English and does not accept international clients.
Sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Beginning therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online support options
Client-centred work and online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where the person is treated with empathy and acceptance. The therapist follows your lead, helping you talk about what matters most and make sense of your feelings. This approach often helps with grief, anxiety, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues.Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Marlene will collaborate with you to choose approaches that suit your needs, goals and preferences. She will check in about what helps and adjust the sessions as you go so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be useful when video would use too much bandwidth or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more accessible for people with different routines and practical constraints.
