About Frances
Frances King is a counsellor registered with the BACP and a member of the NCPS, with six years of practice since 2018. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy problems, sleep issues, parenting strains, career change, ADHD and other life transitions.
Her way of working is straightforward and practical. She uses talking therapy alongside creative methods when words are hard to find. Visualisation, imagery, symbols and sand tray work are tools she brings into sessions to help people name and move through difficult feelings.
Frances trained as an integrative counsellor, which means she draws on different approaches to suit the person in front of her. That can include attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy elements, depending on what is helpful.
She has specific experience supporting people affected by cancer and their families from earlier work in that area. Frances also offers relationship and couples counselling to help partners improve communication or to manage a respectful separation when that is the agreed direction.
Her style is calm and practical. Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings. She helps people understand what feeds their anger, where resentment builds, and how to reduce blow-ups at home or work.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Frances uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns in current close relationships. This approach helps when resentment or anger keeps repeating in partnerships or around family issues.She also uses client-centred methods that focus on careful listening and reflecting what a person brings. That helps people feel heard and sort out which next steps might be useful. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to reduce reactivity at work or home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will discuss different methods with the client and decide together which to try, based on needs, goals and what feels comfortable. She adapts techniques over time as progress is made.
The original profile does not list the specific online session formats she offers, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow a quick check-in between work tasks. They can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps concentrate on the work rather than how one looks.
