About Marion
Marion Fensome is a therapeutic counsellor and hypnotherapist with 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP credential and offers a calm, compassionate presence for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Marion prioritises a respectful, non-judgemental atmosphere where clients can talk openly about difficult feelings and life changes.
Marion blends counselling and hypnotherapy with stress management skills to tailor sessions to each person. She often uses mindfulness techniques to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build small, steady coping skills.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic ideas are also part of her work, helping people understand how past experiences shape current feelings. Her practice includes support around trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, self-worth, sexuality and issues related to the LGBT community. She also addresses practical life pressures such as financial worries, caregiving strain, chronic illness and loneliness.
Marion recognises how guilt, shame and relationship problems can affect daily life and aims to create clear steps forward. Sessions can include conversational counselling, guided hypnotherapy and mindfulness exercises, chosen to suit an individual’s needs. Marion uses straightforward language and practical tools, so people leave sessions with something to try between meetings.
Marion asks people to be honest about their goals so she can adapt the approach. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for each person.

Ways of working Marion names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Approaches you can try online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows your lead and helps you explore thoughts and feelings at your own pace, which suits anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help change unhelpful habits and reduce stress responses. It can be useful alongside talking therapy for issues like chronic pain, anxiety and sleep disturbance.
Marion will work with each person to find the best mix of these approaches. Choosing a method is collaborative - she discusses goals and preferences, then adapts sessions as needs evolve.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in. Messaging and live chat offer flexible ways to reflect between meetings or when typing feels easier.
These formats make it easier to attend from different locations and to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits. Registered or accredited professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as in person, and Marion adapts techniques so practical benefits carry over into daily life.
