About Marianne

Marianne Blackmore is a professional therapist with over four years of clinical experience who prioritizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. She emphasizes connection and empathy, believing that a strong rapport helps people explore difficulties and discover their own strengths. Marianne views therapy as both a place for practical problem solving and self-exploration, guiding people to clarify goals and find their own path forward.

Her background includes work in education, support for carers - including parents, young carers and those caring for elderly relatives - as well as experience in creative industries and transport. She values creativity as a therapeutic tool and often incorporates imaginative approaches into practical, goal-focused work to help clients access new perspectives and coping strategies.

Marianne supports people with a wide range of concerns including burnout, stress and anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship difficulties, self-confidence and self-esteem, motivation, life and career transitions, and loss including ambiguous loss. She can also assist with stage fright, living with uncertainty, imposter syndrome and coping with addictions. Additional focuses include parenting and family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, sleep difficulties, ADHD and challenges related to caregiver roles.

She notes that her sign language proficiency is in British Sign Language (BSL) rather than American Sign Language (ASL). Marianne believes clients are the experts in their own stories and aims to support and empower people who are ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Adapting Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and clarifies. It is useful for building self-awareness, addressing self-esteem and navigating life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change - it is often effective for issues like addiction, career transitions and improving wellbeing. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns from past experiences that influence current feelings and relationships, helping people gain insight into recurring difficulties and emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marianne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as trust and clarity grow. Clients are involved in choosing the focus and pacing of their work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow people to access support from home, during breaks, or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity through transitions, while still working with licensed professionals who tailor care to individual concerns.
