About Marianne
Marianne Blackmore welcomes people looking for practical, steady support. She focuses on helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Marianne aims to build a trusting relationship so people feel understood and able to talk openly about what is hard right now.
She uses an empathic, person-centred style that keeps the client’s goals at the centre of sessions. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach, so she helps people notice what matters to them and find steps they feel ready to take.
Background and approach
Marianne also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that can affect present choices. Marianne has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is displayed as BACP. Her background includes work in education, care settings and creative industries, so she is used to supporting people from a range of everyday situations.
Practical concerns she commonly addresses include parenting stresses, compassion fatigue, burnout, sleep problems, addictions and career difficulties. She also works with issues such as shame, body image, codependency, abandonment and grief-related worries. Sessions may be conducted in English and she can use American Sign Language for some communication needs.
Marianne works online with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different routines and preferences.

Approaches Marianne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Motivational Interviewing focuses on small, achievable change. It helps people weigh options and build practical steps they feel ready to try, which can be useful for addictions, motivation or career moves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods together. The process is collaborative so the plan can change as needs shift.
Online sessions offer flexibility that suits busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and build rapport, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a quicker check-in and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
