About Marlene

Marlene Leach is a UK-licensed therapist with 14 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She works with anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and the complex dynamics that come with narcissistic behaviour in families, workplaces, and intimate partnerships. Her practice also addresses low self-esteem, obsessive-compulsive concerns, addictions, depression, and anger-related issues, with an emphasis on practical strategies and emotional understanding.

Marlene approaches each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on the strengths they already possess. She blends empathetic listening with evidence-informed techniques to help clients navigate painful patterns, rebuild confidence, and regain a sense of direction. Taking the first step toward therapy can be intimidating, and Marlene acknowledges that decision with respect and encouragement.

She aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore difficult memories, process loss, and develop healthier coping skills. Marlene holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional membership and commitment to ongoing development. She welcomes individuals ready to begin the work of change and recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Marlene Leach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to place the client at the heart of the work - offering a nonjudgmental, listening-based approach that helps people clarify their feelings and build self-directed solutions. This approach can be particularly helpful for those struggling with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners and individuals identify and respond to underlying emotions that shape relationship patterns. EFT supports rebuilding trust and improving communication in intimate and family relationships.

Existential Therapy is used to explore meaning, choice, and the challenges of living, which can assist clients facing major life changes, grief, or persistent feelings of emptiness. Marlene works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexible access to licensed professionals and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit them, while preserving a collaborative and focused therapeutic relationship.
