Counselling
So, how can personal counselling help? Firstly this lets clear up some confussion that can occur around the word counselling.
What is counselling?
counselling or talking therapies is providing a safe space that enables you to be fully listened and heard, whilst enabling you to work through and make changes that you wish to make.
How does counselling help?
Counselling is a powerful tool to help you better understand how you think and feel around events and experiences that have either formed you as a person or that have come into our lives and caused us to faulter.

Marion Fensome
Hello, I am Marion Fensome, an experienced and compassionate fully qualified integrative counsellor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional well-being. I blend various therapeutic techniques to tailor each session to your unique needs, ensuring a personalised and effective counselling experience.
My journey into counselling began with a deep-seated passion for understanding the human mind and a desire to support others in their personal growth. I have honed my skills and expertise through extensive training and practical experience, enabling me to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including person-centred and psychodynamic Therapy. This flexibility allows me to adapt my methods to best suit your individual circumstances, allowing you to build your own self-help toolbox, whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other emotional difficulties.
I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and healing, and my role is to facilitate that process by providing empathetic support and practical tools. My approach is collaborative, by working together you will identify and overcome obstacles, build resilience, and foster a deeper understanding of yourself.
In our online sessions, you can expect a warm, empathetic environment where your voice is heard, and your experiences are validated. I am committed to helping you develop coping strategies, enhance your self-awareness, and achieve a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Whether you are seeking support for a specific issue or looking to improve your overall mental health, I am here to guide you on your journey. Together, we can work towards creating positive change and achieving your personal goals.
Nigel Jermey
As a person-centered counsellor, I see myself as a companion on your journey. I’m passionate about creating a space where you can be completely yourself, without fear of judgment. My approach is all about meeting you where you are, with a warm, open heart and a genuine curiosity about your unique experiences. I believe in the power of deep listening and the healing that can come from simply being heard and understood.
With a solid background in psychology, what really drives my work is my belief in the incredible resilience and potential within each of us. I’m here to walk alongside you through the tough stuff—whether it’s anxiety, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck in life—and to celebrate the victories, big or small. I bring a down-to-earth, relatable vibe to our sessions because I understand the importance of feeling comfortable and at ease when you’re opening up about life’s struggles.
When I’m not in the counselling room, you might find me exploring nature, diving into a good book, or experimenting with a new recipe in the kitchen. I’m all about balance and believe in living a life that reflects your true values and passions. In our work together, I hope to help you connect with what really matters to you and to support you in living a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Let’s discover your path together, with empathy and a shared commitment to your growth.
