How counselling with me can help:

Hi, I’m Fran and thanks for visiting my website. If you’re experiencing emotional difficulties I’m here to listen and support you as we explore your challenges together. I'm a Qualified Counsellor and provide one-to-one talking therapy for adults. I offer a warm and compassionate space where you can speak openly about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Counselling with me offers a safe and non-judgmental place to pause, reflect and make sense of whatever you're going through. Our sessions can be a space to talk through what’s on your mind, explore emotions, gain clarity on personal goals or develop greater emotional resilience.

I work with people from all walks of life and support clients with a wide range of concerns, including: 

• Anxiety & feeling unable to relax

• Depression 

• Feeling sad, down, low mood or unhappy

• Stress or overwhelm

• Low motivation

• Relationship difficulties

• Low self-esteem or feeling bad about self

• Grief, loss and bereavement

• Cancer or challenging feelings arising from a diagnosis

• Carers looking for support

• Living with chronic illness or physical pain

• Feeling a lack of purpose or direction

• Bullying

• Panic

• Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

I offer a free initial 20 minute consultation by phone. This gives you the opportunity to see if working with me feels right for you. I can also answer any questions you may have about the Counselling process. 

If you decide my approach feels right, we can then book in for a full therapy session. It's £50 per session and each session is 50 minutes.

I welcome contact from all clients but have particular experience working with people who are affected by cancer. This includes people who have had a diagnosis, are undergoing or recovering from treatment, adjusting to life after cancer or are receiving palliative or end of life care. I support people encountering challenges arising from this including body image, relationship issues, health anxiety or bereavement. I have also worked with clients who maybe supporting a loved one who is receiving cancer treatment.
