Background and approach

She has worked a great deal with LGBT clients and makes compassionate understanding a priority when identity and relationships are part of the issue. She also helps with depression, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and with problems that affect daily life such as chronic pain and caregiver stress. Her practice blends client-centred listening with techniques drawn from hypnotherapy and mindfulness.

Sessions focus on what each person needs right now, whether that means short-term coping strategies or exploring deeper patterns that repeat over time. Marion uses practical tools such as breathing and grounding alongside reflective conversation. She has completed diplomas in hypnotherapy, stress management and therapeutic counselling, plus certificates in bereavement, trauma awareness and anxiety disorders.

Those qualifications support her day-to-day work rather than defining it. Marion aims to help people build small, steady changes that reduce distress and increase choice. People who contact her usually want straightforward support and clear next steps.

Marion works collaboratively to set goals and adapt her approach as progress is made. The intent is realistic improvement rather than quick fixes.

Approaches to anxiety and online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a supportive, non-judgemental space and follows the client's pace to help identify what matters most. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce worry and improve calm. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and come back to the present moment, which can ease ongoing stress and rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work rather than a single decision up front. Marion collaborates with each person to choose or adapt methods based on goals, preferences and how symptoms respond. Sessions often combine listening with practical exercises so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit support into daily life. Video calls let people have a more conversational session with visual cues, while phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or for those who prefer typing. These options increase flexibility and help people continue therapeutic work despite busy schedules.
