About Marilyn Johnson

Marilyn Johnson is a compassionate, person-centered counsellor with seven years of professional experience supporting children, teenagers and adults through life’s challenges. She understands how daunting it can feel to share inner thoughts and emotions, especially when people feel stuck, numb, or unable to express what lies beneath the surface. Marilyn helps clients explore those thoughts and feelings without judgement, offering a listening presence that aims to restore authenticity and emotional growth.

Her practice is grounded in person-centered principles, which prioritise the client’s experience and fosters trust so a therapeutic relationship can develop naturally. She has also used play therapy with some clients, making therapy accessible and effective for younger people or those who find nonverbal expression helpful. Over the years she has worked with clients facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family problems, financial worries, bereavement, ADHD and autism.

Marilyn holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she welcomes clients seeking a calm, nonjudgmental space to explore coping strategies, relationship concerns and transitions. She aims to listen first and help clients find practical, compassionate paths forward at their own pace.
