Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Frances draws from several established approaches to tailor therapy to each person she sees. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and patterns, helping people uncover underlying issues that fuel repeated difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's own perspective at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and acceptance to support self-exploration and stronger self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Frances works collaboratively with people to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her style as the relationship and work evolve.

Online therapy with Frances is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options for different lifestyles and needs. These formats make it easier to access regular support from wherever someone is based and can help maintain momentum between sessions while fitting around work, family, and other commitments.
