About Marion
Counsellor Marion Fensome is a BACP-registered practitioner with 14 years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression and LGBT issues. Marion also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse.
Marion trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She also has diplomas in hypnotherapy and stress management, and qualifications in mindfulness teaching and bereavement support. These give a range of practical ways to work together in sessions.
Her style is conversational and direct. Sessions typically begin by mapping what matters most to the client. Marion uses client-centred methods to prioritise the person's experience, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present difficulties.
She can offer hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices when these suit the client's aims. Hypnotherapy may be used to support habit change and reduce tension. Mindfulness exercises are used to build steadier focus and calm when stress or anxiety are present.
Marion also works with longer standing issues such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, and the aftermath of trauma. She addresses practical problems too, including communication, money worries and relationship concerns such as jealousy or infidelity.
Sessions are carried out in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are invited to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book a first session.
Approaches used and what online counselling can offer
Marion works from a client-centred perspective. This means sessions focus on what the person says matters most. The counsellor listens and follows the client's pace while helping them make sense of their experience.She also offers hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is a cooperative method that uses guided attention and suggestion to support behaviour change and reduce tension. It can help with anxiety, stress-related problems and unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness therapy is another tool she uses. Mindfulness involves simple attention exercises and breathing work to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can be useful for stress, worry and low mood.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Marion will talk through different options with the client and agree what to try first based on their goals and preferences. This is reviewed as work progresses so methods can change if needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so check the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care through remote work, and Marion will discuss practical arrangements when you book.
