About Marilyn
Marilyn Thomas is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, low mood, self-esteem, and broader life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, career shifts and ADHD-related challenges.
Her practice starts from a client-centred approach, which means conversations focus on the person in front of her. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and attachment-based ideas when these suit a person’s goals. That mix allows practical work on thoughts and habits alongside exploration of relational patterns.
Sessions often look at unhelpful thinking, communication habits, and how past attachment experiences affect current relationships. For intimacy and sexual concerns she uses established relationship methods to address communication and connection. For mood and anxiety she helps people test new responses to old habits and rebuild manageable routines.
Marilyn has worked with a wide range of issues including bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and complex relationship patterns like codependency or commitment issues. She also offers support around body image, BDSM and kink topics, blended family concerns, and separation and divorce.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. The usual way to begin is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How CBT and attachment work online with this counsellor
Marilyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on practical steps such as testing new responses, changing routines, and using short exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current partnerships and intimacy. This helps when communication problems, trust issues or repeated relationship patterns are causing distress. Her client-centred approach keeps sessions focused on the person’s immediate concerns and goals while these methods are used.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marilyn discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide what methods to try and when to adjust them. That collaborative process helps match technique to problem rather than assuming one method fits all.
