About Marion
Marion Fensome is a counsellor and hypnotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of clinical experience. She combines counselling, hypnotherapy and stress management to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Marion offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters to them.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions often begin by listening to the immediate problem and finding small, doable steps forward. Marion uses client-centred counselling to focus on the person's own goals and priorities, and draws on mindfulness techniques to ease stress and racing thoughts.
Background and approach
She also uses hypnotherapy when appropriate, for example to address persistent anxiety, sleep problems or stress-related patterns. Psychodynamic ideas can be brought in to help understand recurring feelings and relationships from a longer view. Marion tailors the blend of methods to each person's needs rather than following a single formula.
Marion has worked with people coping with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and with issues around sexuality and LGBT identity. Her background includes training in bereavement support and trauma awareness, and she aims to make exploring difficult material feel manageable. People who prefer a compassionate, steady style may find her helpful.
Marion works with everyday pressures, relationship problems and deeper emotional pain, supporting clients to build coping tools and clearer steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own resources and goals, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting what matters most. It helps with low self-esteem, relationship decisions and feeling heard. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage anxious thoughts, which can be useful for sleep problems and daily worry.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marion will work with the person to test different techniques and agree what feels most helpful. Goals and preferences guide the choice of methods rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily commitments and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility for shorter check-ins, sessions during a lunch break or alternatives when speaking face-to-face is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy-style relaxation to an online setting, helping people practise tools between sessions and track gradual progress.
