About Marion
Marion Fensome is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and LGBT-related concerns, and includes guilt and shame among the issues she addresses.
She describes herself as a therapeutic counsellor, hypnotherapist and stress management consultant. Marion uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques to help clients name what feels heavy and consider ways of coping. Sessions are aimed at helping people think through feelings, patterns and decisions rather than offering quick fixes.
Her work draws on client-centred ideas alongside hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices. That means time is given to what the person brings to the room, and simple exercises are used to calm busy thinking and notice unhelpful patterns. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences may show up now.
Clients with trauma, chronic illness, caregiving strain or relationship problems are within her stated focus areas. Marion also lists support for issues such as commitment doubts, jealousy, isolation, money worries and questions about sexuality and life purpose.
She holds diplomas in hypnotherapy and therapeutic counselling and additional certificates in bereavement, trauma awareness, anxiety and stress management. Marion works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Marion blends client-centred work with hypnotherapy and mindfulness practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening to what the person brings and responding to their concerns without imposing a direction. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and imagery to access different states of attention and can be used to address anxiety, stress and some habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches short exercises in awareness and breathing to reduce reactivity and notice unhelpful thought patterns.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Marion will talk through a client’s needs, goals and preferences and suggest options. Together they will try techniques and agree what feels most helpful as sessions continue.
If you plan to work online, check the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week, having shorter check-ins if needed, or choosing a non-video option when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can make these adaptations so therapy can fit around work, caring responsibilities or health constraints. Confirm the exact online arrangements and format when you schedule your first session.
