About Marianne
Marianne Blackmore is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and related problems such as depression, sleep difficulties and parenting strain. Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language. Marianne practises from Kentucky and does not accept international clients.
She focuses on building a steady working relationship so people can talk through what is making their temper worse. Marianne uses practical conversation and creative ideas to help someone recognise patterns, manage immediate reactions and try different ways of responding. She encourages small, manageable steps rather than large overnight changes.
Before moving into counselling she worked across education, care settings and creative industries. That background informs her interest in caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and workplace pressures. She also supports people with trauma and abuse histories, addiction concerns and struggles with self‑esteem.
Her practice draws on Client‑Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic Therapy. That mix means sessions can be supportive and person-led, focused on motivation and change, or aimed at understanding deeper patterns from earlier life. Marianne will adjust the emphasis based on what a person needs in the room.
She notes her British Sign Language proficiency and also offers American Sign Language for sessions. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can clarify feelings and spot triggers. It helps with immediate emotional reactions like anger and with building clearer ways to respond to stress. Motivational Interviewing works by supporting a person’s own reasons for change. It uses short, goal‑oriented conversations to boost commitment and plan small steps towards different behaviour when frustration or resentment builds. Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the method to the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may shift as sessions progress. For practicalities, confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Some people also prefer phone or lower‑bandwidth options when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these choices, and Marianne will talk through what suits a person's schedule and needs before the first appointment.Areas of focus
