About Marianne
Marianne Blackmore is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety and major life changes. She uses a warm, connecting style and aims to build trust quickly. Marianne highlights creativity as a useful part of sessions and believes clients bring strengths to the work.
She has five years of professional experience and has worked in education, the creative industries, transport and with carers.

Marianne draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and find their own reasons for change. Her psychodynamic perspective helps uncover patterns from the past that affect current relationships and choices.
She can assist with parenting concerns, fatherhood issues, communication problems and family matters by helping individuals think through options and responses. Marianne notes work with LGBT concerns, abandonment, body image, codependency, dissociation, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and linked issues such as comorbidity.

How Marianne’s approaches fit with online counselling
Client‑centred work focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, listening closely and following what matters most to them. In online sessions this means the counsellor aims to make space for your story and reflect back what you say so you feel heard. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by asking clear questions and summarising what matters; online conversations can be useful for setting small, achievable goals and tracking progress. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns and repeated themes from the past that affect present choices, and talking about those patterns can bring new understanding even when done remotely.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will treat finding the best fit as a joint task, checking in about what helps and changing course where needed. She will talk through options, match methods to your goals, and keep the plan practical and goal‑focused.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It also allows people to join from different locations and to use sessions alongside day‑to‑day commitments while the counsellor and client agree what works best.
