Background and approach
Frances uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try different ways of responding, and set short-term goals that produce real change. Conversations are aimed at practical problem solving rather than long lists of theory.
Clients often bring worries about work, social anxiety, caregiving stress, or major life transitions. Frances also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and the fallout of separation or divorce. She helps clarify priorities and break problems into manageable parts.
Sessions are offered in English and take formats like video or phone calls, live chat, or text messaging. The intake begins with a brief questionnaire and scheduling, and Frances works with each person to shape goals that feel useful and realistic.
Using practical approaches in online care
Frances commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy during online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and adopt small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on current resources and short-term goals, helping clients spot what is already working and build on it.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Frances will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps you make progress. The partnership is about experimenting with steps that fit your life and measuring small improvements together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
