Marion Fensome, BACP

Marion Fensome is a counsellor and hypnotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She brings 14 years of experience and works with people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, grief and low self-esteem. Marion also offers informed support around LGBT concerns and sexuality, and listens without judgement so people can begin to make changes that matter to them.

Marion trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She also has a Diploma in Hypnotherapy and a Diploma in Stress Management, along with certificates in bereavement, trauma awareness and anxiety disorders. These qualifications inform her practical approach to sessions.

In conversation she is calm and direct. Marion uses client-centred ways of working to prioritise each person’s experience. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people manage distressing feelings and build small, steady routines.

Hypnotherapy is available as another option for people who want to try guided relaxation and imagery alongside talking work. Marion says the goal is to find what helps each person make progress, not to force a single method on everyone.

People often come to Marion with relationship worries such as jealousy or communication problems, or with the aftermath of trauma, loss and long-term illness. She helps people talk through difficult feelings and create a simple plan to move forward at a pace that suits them.

How Marion’s approaches work online

Marion uses client-centred work to place the person’s experience at the heart of each session; this means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name aims and make practical steps forward. Mindfulness therapy is offered as a way to develop simple mental habits such as breath awareness and brief body checks that reduce anxiety and improve focus. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and imagery to support changes in thought patterns and behaviour, and can be useful for stress, sleep or habit-related issues.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marion will discuss options with each person and try methods that match their needs and preferences. The relationship and agreed goals guide what is used in sessions, and changes can be made as work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in Marion's biography here, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people value online sessions because they make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare and other routines, cut travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also let people use mindfulness exercises and relaxation tools between sessions to reinforce progress.
