About Frances
Frances Fraser is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and the pressures of parenting. She writes with warmth and directness to support people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Frances works from a belief that each person understands their own story and brings strengths to change.
She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone taking a first step. Frances has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.
Background and approach
She focuses on everyday struggles including parenting concerns, family tension, low self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing addiction, intimacy-related worries, career stress and symptoms of depression and ADHD. Sessions centre on a client-centred approach that prioritises the person's perspective.
Conversations are paced to reflect what matters most to the client, with practical attention on what can be tried between meetings. Frances listens for strengths and patterns that get in the way, then helps people test different ways of coping. She also works with issues tied to family history, attachment and blended family dynamics.
Other areas covered include abandonment, forgiveness, guilt and shame, money stress and fatherhood issues. The aim is to make difficult topics clearer and more manageable. Frances offers appointments in English and accepts international clients.
Sessions are arranged using a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, allowing people to fit support around work and family life.

How Frances uses client-centred work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and experiences. In this approach the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the person explore options at their own pace. This style suits issues like low self-esteem, parenting pressures, family conflict and coping with life changes because it starts from what matters to the individual.Online sessions can also support focused conversations about addiction, anxiety, career strain or intimacy-related concerns. The therapist encourages practical steps and short experiments between meetings so progress can be reviewed together. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process and Frances will help clients shape the work around their goals and preferences.
Using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people connect face to face, phone needs less bandwidth and can be quicker to arrange, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging allows ongoing written reflection. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions.
