Marion Fensome

Marion Fensome is a therapeutic counsellor and hypnotherapist with 14 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Marion offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports LGBT clients who want to explore identity, relationships and mental health concerns.

Marion works in a straightforward way. She listens first, then helps people identify simple steps they can try between sessions. This can include breathing and mindfulness practices, guided imagery from hypnotherapy, and talking work that focuses on personal patterns. Sessions are shaped around what feels useful to each person.

Her background includes diplomas in hypnotherapy, stress management and therapeutic counselling, plus certificates in trauma awareness and bereavement support. These inform how she tailors conversations for people facing loss, trauma or chronic stress. Marion also brings experience supporting those dealing with chronic pain and illness.

People who come to Marion often want practical tools as well as space to reflect. She aims to help clients build coping strategies, manage difficult thoughts and reconnect with a sense of purpose. The pace of work is set by the client’s needs and readiness.

If you are unsure where to start, Marion invites you to begin with a short matching questionnaire. From there you can agree next steps and plan sessions that suit your life and goals.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, with the counsellor following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs a safe space to talk through feelings and make their own choices about change.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage anxiety. These techniques can help with sleeplessness, rumination and overwhelming emotions by training awareness in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marion will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt methods as the relationship develops. That way the approach is chosen collaboratively rather than imposed.

Confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or health needs, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day, and lets people practise mindfulness or breathing exercises in their own routine. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your circumstances and daily life.
