About Marion

Marion Fensome is a therapeutic counsellor and hypnotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of practical experience. She combines talking therapy with hypnotherapy and stress management ideas to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. Marion aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can say what they are thinking and feeling.

She has particular experience supporting people from LGBT communities to explore identity, relationships and emotional health.

Background and approach

Marion also offers help with depression, trauma and abuse, and with difficult life events that leave people feeling stuck. She listens first and then works with each person to agree simple goals and next steps. Her background includes diplomas in hypnotherapy and therapeutic counselling, plus training in stress management, bereavement and trauma awareness.

Marion draws on Mindfulness Therapy and psychodynamic ideas alongside client-centred listening to shape sessions. She uses practical tools such as guided relaxation, journaling exercises and breathing techniques in sessions. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change now, and on small, manageable steps to get there.

Marion supports people through relationship problems, family strains, feelings of emptiness, and challenges around sexuality and self-worth. She also helps those coping with chronic pain, illness or long-term stress. People can expect a collaborative approach where the counsellor and client agree the pace and the methods.

Marion works in a gentle, direct way to help people move toward greater calm, clarity and self-understanding.

Online support

How her approaches work online

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and reduce stress. Online sessions can include brief guided inductions and visualisation exercises that assist with anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on the client's own experience and priorities, with the therapist offering empathic listening and reflective questions. This approach helps people feel heard and to clarify what they want to change in their life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work Marion does together with each person. She will discuss goals, preferences and past experiences and suggest a combination of methods that suit those needs. The approach can be adapted over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls enable a fuller face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be quieter and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, step-by-step tasks or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping continuity between sessions.
