More about Marlene

Hello, I'm Marlene. My counseling and psychotherapy services focus on the person's needs. The restrictions placed on social gatherings and face-to-face interactions during the lockdown exacerbated people's grief and loss. A lot of people are still dealing with the fallout from the restrictions now that all the restrictions are gone. There may be certain emotions that are overwhelming you, and you cannot understand why. Your body may not feel right, and you can sense something isn't right within you. If you would like to start feeling like yourself again. You might find counselling helpful to gain a deeper understanding.

I am a person-centred therapist. My clients have 50 minutes to talk through what is going on for them. In a safe, private and confidential space. You could have had a bereavement or loss and feel you need someone to listen to you without offering you advice.

Sitting and talking with me about how you are feeling, is a valued and worthwhile first step to take. Feeling anxious and uncertain about how each session will be can fill your thoughts. You may even wonder if you will have enough to talk about in each session. I understand how you feel and will support you to feel relaxed and at ease in your sessions.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Marlene is simply the best! She has a very supportive, empathetic, and positive attitude and a lot of expertise and experience. So far, she has helped me enormously through a tough moment of my life which also revealed deeper issues we have been working on together. I highly recommend her to everyone!

By far the best therapist I've ever had. Doesn't matter what I bring to the session, there's nothing I can talk about that she can't handle, which makes me feel genuinely safe and lets me be truly unfiltered. I've learned and progressed so much thanks to her.

Marlene has helped me so much over the past 8 months. Each session has been illuminating and explorative and I’ve always felt safe and supported by her warm presence. I’m going to miss our sessions a lot but I know they have prepared me well for my next chapter. Thank you so much, Marlene!

I've been working with Marlene for the past four months and have nothing but positive things to say. She creates such a safe space and is so warm and welcoming that working with her has definitely improved how I view my world and has armed me with all the coping abilities to break my thought patterns and instilled back in me all the self worth I had lost due to past trauma. I now feel more myself than ever and face every day situations that used to fill me with fear with a renewed confidence! I would highly recommend. Thank you Marlene!

Reviewed March 2023

Marlene has provided a safe, non-judgmental space to work through my tough emotions. This is my first time seeking therapy too. It’s always comfortable to speak to Marlene over video call, and her written messages are well thought through, which personally I like to keep as reminders. Marlene is able to help me objectively identify and discuss my issues. I’d reconnect with Marlene if I get back on BetterHelp. Thanks Marlene.

Marlene has been so great, always listened and helped me understand my thought processes. I really appreciate all her help- she’s helped me progress so much and has given me some really good tools to deal with things long term. I liked how we would always circle back to the main issue even if we went off topic, and how she ends the sessions with a grounding exercise.

Marlene is an amazing therapist. She always listened to what I had to say, and kindly gave her perspective.

I’m so glad I was matched with Marlene, she is an incredible individual who truly cares for her clients and I definitely felt I had someone I could trust 100%. She helped me through many tough moments and reminded me to use my voice and honour my emotions, I believe I’ll always have a place in my heart for Marlene and all she did for me.

I am so grateful to have had Marlene as a therapist. In short she is great. It is truly phenomenal how she created a safe space for me to verbalise and process my emotions, feelings, thoughts. Not only this, but week after week Marlene gently challenged me to work on recurring themes in my life! She was kind and compassionate in all of my sessions and I felt heard and not judged. Not many therapists have the capacity to do this, let alone via a screen. I look forward to my return to therapy as I know there is a lot more to discover with Marlene.
