About Marion

Marion Fensome is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and offers support around LGBT concerns and trauma and abuse.

She combines talk work with practical techniques drawn from hypnotherapy and mindfulness. Sessions often focus on understanding what is causing distress, practising calming skills, and developing clearer ways to communicate needs. Marion aims to help people manage symptoms so daily life feels more manageable.

Her background includes a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and diplomas in hypnotherapy and stress management. Additional short courses cover bereavement, trauma awareness and anxiety disorders, and she has training in meditation and mindfulness teaching. Marion also holds certificates relating to working remotely and to telephone support.

In the counselling room she uses Client-Centred and Psychodynamic ideas alongside mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques. That means there is time to talk through painful memories, and space to learn grounding and breathing practices that can be used between sessions.

People who contact her often want help with identity questions, relationship strain, low self-worth or lingering stress after difficult events. Marion suggests practical steps you can try between sessions and reviews what helps as you go. To begin, readers are invited to use the site matching steps and book an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is grounded in open conversation and active listening. Online work using this approach focuses on the client speaking about what matters most while the counsellor reflects and clarifies to help understanding. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Online sessions can include guided exercises and short practices to use between appointments for stress and anxiety management. Hypnotherapy uses focused relaxation and suggestion to access calm states and to rehearse new ways of thinking. When used online, the counsellor guides relaxation and mental imagery and reviews how those exercises felt afterwards. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Marion will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress is reviewed. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
