About Frances
Frances King welcomes enquiries from people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and phobias. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, career changes and ADHD-related challenges. Frances is based in the United Kingdom and practises as a counsellor with professional registrations BACP and NCPS.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what is worrying them. Sessions are straightforward and conversational.
Background and approach
Frances uses visual tools when words are hard to find, such as imagery, symbols and sand tray work alongside talking therapy. Frances trained as an integrative counsellor, which means she blends approaches to suit each person. That flexible style lets her use attachment-informed ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques as appropriate.
Hypnotherapy and Imago relationship methods are also part of her practice where they fit the client’s goals. Her work draws on six years of practice plus earlier experience supporting people affected by cancer and their families. Frances says her own life experience helps her relate to clients and bring warmth to sessions.
She aims to help people move forward toward clearer choices and more fulfilment. People who choose her can expect practical conversations, paced to their needs, with occasional creative exercises to surface feelings. She offers one-to-one counselling and relationship work to explore repair or an amicable ending, depending on what the people involved want.
Practical approaches and online counselling options
Frances commonly draws on Attachment-Based work to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. This approach helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or attachment issues understand how past relationships affect their present ones.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood. That method suits anyone who needs a steady, empathic space to make sense of emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is employed for concrete problems such as anxiety, phobias or low mood and involves trying small changes to thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Frances will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals, checking in and adapting the plan as progress is made. The process is shared rather than fixed from the start.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video helps keep the face-to-face feel, phone calls need less bandwidth, short live chats suit quick check-ins and messaging allows paced reflection over time. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
