Background and approach
Marianne values creativity in sessions and often brings simple, arts-based ideas into conversations when they fit a person’s needs. Her main concerns include burnout, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, career difficulties and coping with life changes. She also supports people with relationship and family stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems and anger.
Marianne lists work with LGBT clients, ADHD and hearing-impaired people among her experience areas. She uses client-centred ways of working to follow what matters most to each person. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to make changes but feel unsure how to start.
Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and life choices. Marianne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She is based in Kentucky and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

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
Deciding which approach fits best is a joint process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and try methods that suit the person’s needs and preferences. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so therapy stays practical and relevant to what is happening in life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is helpful. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments.
