About Marianne

Marianne Blackmore is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or major life changes. She speaks English and uses American Sign Language for clients who are hearing impaired. Marianne works from a client-led outlook and focuses on building a trusting relationship first.

Her practice blends practical conversation with space to reflect. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them find manageable steps forward.

Background and approach

Sessions can cover parenting pressures, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, addictions, sleep problems and mood concerns such as depression. Marianne has five years of experience and lists the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, among her professional details. Her background includes work with carers, education settings and creative industries, which shaped her interest in using creativity within counselling.

She uses client-centred methods to follow the person’s lead, motivational interviewing to help with change and psychodynamic ideas to reflect on patterns that repeat over time. These approaches are used flexibly to match what a person needs in the room. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Marianne encourages people to bring whatever feels relevant, and she works with them to set realistic goals and next steps as therapy progresses.

How Marianne's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person find their own answers, which suits issues like low self-esteem, stress and relationship concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method to support change. It helps people who are unsure about making changes - for example with addiction, motivation at work, or career decisions - by exploring ambivalence and building commitment to small steps.

Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat in relationships and life choices. This approach can help when someone notices recurring problems such as codependency, attachment concerns or repeated conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. They will review progress together and adjust the way they work as therapy continues.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving or busy days while still keeping therapy consistent.
