How Frances works
She focuses on building a trusting relationship so clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of blame. That steady, respectful connection is the platform for making changes that feel right for each person. Sessions often involve listening closely, reflecting what comes up, and gently helping people notice patterns that cause pain or hold them back.
Frances encourages small, manageable steps to try between meetings. She aims to make space for self-compassion and clearer decision-making. Frances holds NCPS as a credential.
She has four years of experience in counselling practice. Her work is straightforward and down-to-earth, aimed at parents and individuals facing real-life stresses and changes. People who choose Frances can expect calm, patient support and an emphasis on understanding what matters most to them.
She invites questions and explains the process so it feels easier to take the next step.

How Frances uses a client-led approach online
Frances works primarily from a client-centred approach. This means she listens closely, reflects back what she hears and follows the concerns you bring. The aim is to create a steady therapeutic relationship so you can talk openly about trauma, relationships, parenting pressures and other difficulties.That style suits people who want a supportive, non-judgemental space to understand their feelings and make their own choices. It helps when the goal is to increase self-awareness, repair communication patterns or reduce the impact of painful memories and shame.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Frances will discuss what feels helpful and adjust the approach to match your needs, goals and preferences. This is a joint process where you shape the pace and focus of sessions together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make attendance easier. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins or when writing helps you think things through. These options aim to give flexibility and easier access to care for different lifestyles and schedules.
