More about Frances

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am an experienced, qualified counsellor registered with the BACP, based in the UK. I work with both individuals and couples, offering friendly and non judgemental counselling.

I work with clients on a wide range of issues including low self-esteem, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship problems, bereavement and loss, domestic abuse, separation and divorce, redundancy and stress at work.

Counselling can give you the time to focus on you, I provide a warm and empathetic space, without judgement. This time can give you much needed clarity and a place to talk honestly and openly, away from our lives. Whatever the challenge or issue you choose to bring, counselling can provide a rare space to explore your thoughts and feelings without distraction. Counselling is an investment in your future well being and I have seen many clients benefit hugely from this process.

My focus is on providing a relaxed space for you to share. I believe you are the expert of your own life. We can work together to find a pace and agenda that will be of most benefit to you. I tailor my approach to suit each client's needs.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
