About Marianne
Marianne Blackmore is a counsellor who aims to make the first step simpler for people feeling overwhelmed. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and listens with empathy. Marianne presents herself as someone who connects easily and values creativity as part of therapy.
She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and compassion fatigue. Marianne also works with challenges such as parenting strain, career difficulties, sleep problems, anger and issues linked to addiction and codependency. She frames therapy as both self-exploration and practical problem solving.
Her background includes work in education, the creative industries, transport and roles supporting carers of various kinds. That experience informs her approach with people who are juggling work, caring responsibilities and life changes. Marianne values creativity and sometimes brings creative methods into conversations when it helps someone express themselves.
Marianne uses Client-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic Therapy in her work. She believes the person in front of her knows their story best and that therapy helps uncover strengths and ways forward. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs.
She lists the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, as her professional credential. Sessions are offered in English, and she notes proficiency in British Sign Language. Marianne works from Kentucky and invites people to start by sharing what is on their mind so they can plan the next steps together.
How these approaches can work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy and listening. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space and follows the person’s lead, which can be helpful for stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change. It uses gentle questions and reflection to build motivation, which suits issues like addiction, career shifts and managing life transitions.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time. It invites reflection on feelings and relationships to uncover long-standing difficulties such as abandonment, emptiness or guilt.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most useful, adjusting as goals evolve and preferences become clearer.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time.
