About Frances
Frances Fraser is a counsellor who focuses on practical help for everyday problems. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Frances also supports those facing family and parenting strains, relationship intimacy concerns, and life changes such as career shifts or addiction challenges.
She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and that therapy builds on personal strengths. Frances follows a client-centred approach, so sessions are shaped around what matters to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to the client’s comfort, and the aim is to make small, steady changes that feel manageable. With eight years of experience in the United Kingdom, Frances has helped people address issues like attachment and abandonment worries, blended family tensions, body image and money-related stress. She also works on topics such as guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and fatherhood concerns.
Practical problem-solving and clearer thinking are often part of the work. Sessions are run in plain language without technical jargon. Frances encourages reflection, offers empathetic listening and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going.
She invites clients to try out new ways of coping and to adjust plans as needed. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk things through. Frances aims to be steady and responsive while helping clients make choices that suit their lives.
How Frances uses client-centred work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping the person feel understood. The therapist reflects what the client says, asks open questions and supports them to find their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem and life changes where the client’s perspective is central.In practice Frances keeps the work collaborative. She helps clients identify goals, then adapts sessions to match those aims and the client’s preferred pace. Together they review what helps and change direction if needed, so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation and are good for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or when a shorter exchange fits a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
