Practical counselling with hypnotherapy and mindfulness
About Marion
Marion Fensome is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She holds a BACP credential, and combines counselling, hypnotherapy and stress management techniques to help people find practical ways forward. Marion aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.
She often works with anxiety, stress and grief. Marion also supports people exploring sexuality and LGBT issues, and those coping with low self-esteem or depression.
Background and approach
She will listen to how a concern affects daily life and help shape small, manageable steps towards change. Marion uses client-centred work to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She integrates mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy when these fit someone’s goals.
Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover patterns that keep returning in relationships or feelings. Her background includes training in stress management, hypnotherapy and therapeutic counselling, plus certificates in trauma awareness and bereavement support. Marion has specific experience with grief and with working alongside people who have faced abuse or trauma.
Sessions can include breathing and grounding exercises, reflective talk, short hypnosis exercises, or practical planning for everyday challenges. Marion encourages people to try different approaches and then choose what feels most useful to them.
To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they hope to change and to take the first small step toward building a clearer routine and greater emotional balance.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Marion uses client-centred therapy to prioritise what matters most to the person she is working with. This means sessions focus on the client’s own goals and pace, with the counsellor offering reflective listening and practical suggestions to help make small changes.She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, teaching short, simple exercises that help reduce stress and bring attention back to the present moment. These techniques can be helpful for anxiety, stress and ongoing low mood. When appropriate, hypnotherapy is used as a gentle way to access calm states and support habit change or emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marion will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that suit them. The choice of techniques is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
