Marion Fensome, BACP

Marion Fensome is a counsellor and hypnotherapist with 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or questions about sexual orientation and identity. Marion aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk and be listened to.

Her work combines talking therapy with hypnotherapy and stress-management techniques. Sessions focus on small, practical steps a person can try between meetings. Marion will gently explore emotional patterns and past experiences that affect day-to-day life.

She uses mindfulness to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Psychodynamic ideas are also part of her approach, helping clients understand how earlier relationships shape current responses.

Marion has formal qualifications in therapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy, and additional training in bereavement, trauma awareness and anxiety. She also has training in stress management and telephone support, which informs how she structures remote sessions.

People describe her work as compassionate and steady, with a focus on practical coping strategies. Marion works collaboratively to build a plan that suits each person's needs and pace. Her aim is to help people move toward greater calm and clearer direction.

How Marion's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It gives people space to speak without judgement and helps them find their own solutions to stress, depression or relationship questions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, grief and ongoing stress by training the mind to stay present for short moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marion will discuss options and work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual connection when that is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want flexible timing, or need to reflect between messages. These formats aim to offer accessibility and practical flexibility while keeping the therapeutic focus.
