Marion Fensome, BACP

Marion Fensome is a therapeutic counsellor and hypnotherapist with 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Diploma in Hypnotherapy, and she combines those skills with stress management work. Marion aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk through what matters most to them.

Marion helps people facing anxiety, stress, grief and low self-esteem. She has substantial experience with LGBT concerns and supports people exploring identity and relationships. She also works with trauma and abuse, depression and post-traumatic stress.

Her background includes training in bereavement support, trauma awareness and mindfulness teaching. Marion has additional certificates in areas such as anxiety disorders, CBT journaling, and working with people who are suicidal remotely. These inform how she plans sessions and offers follow-up suggestions.

In sessions she uses a blend of client-centred listening, mindful practice and hypnotherapy tools when appropriate. Marion aims to help people notice unhelpful thinking, feel calmer in the body, and make small changes that fit their life. She involves people in deciding the pace and focus of work.

Practical concerns such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, communication problems and financial strain are part of her caseload. Marion encourages clear goals, simple techniques to try between meetings, and realistic steps towards feeling steadier.

Approaches Marion Uses and how they fit online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, helping them name concerns and set goals. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk and make decisions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and ease difficult emotions. It helps when anxiety, sleep or repeated worrying feel overwhelming. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and imagery to access focused attention and encourage different ways of thinking or behaving. It can be helpful for stress, habit change and managing strong physical reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marion will discuss options and try methods together to see what fits best. That means choices are collaborative and can change as the client’s needs shift.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific online arrangements are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and eliminate travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt mindfulness exercises and hypnotherapy scripts for remote sessions so people can practise between meetings and carry skills into daily life.
