About Marion

Marion Fensome is a UK-based therapeutic counsellor with 14 years of professional experience and BACP registration. She combines counselling, hypnotherapy and stress management to offer practical support tailored to each person. Marion creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is worrying them.

She aims to help people regain a sense of direction and steadiness. Marion often supports people experiencing anxiety and stress. She also works with grief, depression and trauma and offers particular understanding around LGBT concerns and issues of identity.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, manageable steps forward. The aim is to make emotional challenges easier to cope with day to day. Her style is warm and straightforward.

She listens first, and helps people set clear, realistic goals. Techniques may include guided relaxation and mindfulness alongside talking therapies to reduce tension and improve concentration. Marion adapts the pace to each person so work feels manageable.

Marion also helps with practical strains such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, financial worries and relationship problems like communication or jealousy. She offers ways to build self-compassion and to tackle guilt and shame without judgement. Sessions are focused on improving everyday functioning rather than on labels.

People who prefer a gentle, respectful approach tend to suit her practice. Marion encourages open conversation and works with each person to find what helps them move forward. The first steps are a short questionnaire and arranging a session that fits the person’s schedule.

How Marion’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the pace the person needs, helping them clarify feelings and goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus. It can help with ongoing tension, sleep problems and rumination by building short daily habits that make distress easier to manage.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. Marion works collaboratively to decide what methods to try, and she adapts techniques according to each person’s needs and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other daily demands, and they allow continuity even when travel or schedules change.
