About Frances
Frances Fraser is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She uses a warm, person-centred style and encourages clients to build on their own strengths. Frances aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin.
She draws on eight years of professional experience and works with common life challenges such as parenting concerns, family problems, low self-esteem, and changes in career or relationships.
Background and approach
Frances also supports people dealing with depression, ADHD, addictive behaviours, and intimacy-related worries. Her approach is straightforward and practical, with a focus on what the client wants to change. Frances believes the person in the room is the expert on their own life.
Sessions are shaped around each individual's story and goals, not a one-size-fits-all plan. She listens for strengths, patterns, and small opportunities for change that can make life feel steadier. In practice she uses Client-Centred Therapy, offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through.
Conversations typically explore feelings, relationships, and day-to-day coping strategies. Frances helps people test out new ways of thinking and acting between sessions when that is useful. People can work on issues such as attachment wounds, family of origin matters, money-related stress, feelings of emptiness, and challenges around forgiveness or guilt.
Frances aims to help clients notice practical steps forward while honouring how hard change can be.
Person-centred approaches and online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and treating the client as the expert on their own life. The therapist provides acceptance, empathy and reflective listening to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach often helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns by supporting clearer thinking and safer experimentation with change.Finding the right method is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each client and adapt the sessions as those needs change. This collaborative process means the approach can shift if something different would suit better later on.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful when face-to-face conversation is important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based and chat options suit people who prefer to write, want ongoing brief contact, or need more flexible timing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones while keeping focus on what the person wants to address.
