About Frances
Frances Dallison is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, grief, addiction and anger. Frances also helps people coping with career pressures, changes in life circumstances and compassion fatigue.
She uses an integrative way of working and adapts what she offers to the person in front of her. That means she draws on different approaches rather than relying on a single method. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people understand patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life.
Frances often uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and reactions. Mindfulness tools are brought in to help with stress, grounding and emotion regulation.
Clients can expect a clear focus on practical steps alongside time to reflect. Frances supports people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, communication and control problems, and those dealing with divorce, separation or blended family tensions. She also works with eating and substance-related concerns.
Therapy sessions are intended to help people recognise how patterns form and to try out new ways of relating. The aim is not to promise a quick fix but to offer steady, practical work so people can make considered changes in their everyday lives.
Approaches used online and how they help
Frances draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help when anger is tied to fear of abandonment or problems with trust. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify thinking and behaviour cycles that keep stress and anger going, and to practise different responses in day-to-day situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will discuss goals, past attempts and how the methods feel to the person. Together they decide which techniques to try and review what helps as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect with a UK-based counsellor without relocating. Registered or accredited professionals will adapt tools such as CBT exercises, attachment explorations and mindfulness practices to suit remote sessions and everyday life.
