About Marianne
Marianne Blackmore is a BACP counsellor practising in Kentucky with five years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, relationships and issues linked to codependency. Marianne also supports people dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, addictions and grief-related concerns.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Marianne places importance on building trust and connection before moving into deeper work. She uses creativity alongside talking to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Marianne has worked in education, with carers and in creative industries and transport. That variety has given her experience of different everyday pressures and family roles. She draws on what clients already do well and looks for small, practical steps that fit into daily life.
In session she combines client-centred listening with motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and early influences. Sessions can include discussing emotions, trying new phrases for setting boundaries, and making short plans for change.
Marianne offers work in English and American Sign Language for people who are hearing impaired. She asks people to use the site matching questionnaire to schedule a first session and to check current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and decide what they want to change.Motivational Interviewing is about exploring ambivalence and drawing out a person's own reasons for change. It suits people who feel stuck or unsure how to take the next small step.
Psychodynamic thinking looks at patterns that repeat in relationships and early influences that shape current behaviour. It can help people who keep finding themselves in the same difficult dynamics, such as chronic people-pleasing or codependent patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to identify which method or mix of methods fits their goals and preferences. That discussion happens together, and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
The practical advantages of arranging sessions online include fitting therapy into busy days and reducing travel time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep short check-ins between longer appointments and to schedule sessions around work or caring commitments.
