About Frances

Frances Fogg is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, including social anxiety and phobia. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping clients talk through what feels hard and find clearer options for next steps.

She sees people as the experts in their own lives and builds on the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now, with clear steps to try between meetings. That might include practising specific ways to manage intense feelings or testing small changes in social situations.

Frances combines structured, evidence-based techniques with conversational therapy. She explains options simply and works with each person to choose what fits. Over time she helps people notice what is changing and what still needs work.

Her background emphasises practical support for common life strains such as workplace stress, caregiving burden, chronic illness, and the isolation that can come with anxiety. She also helps people dealing with attachment concerns, communication problems, and challenges around pregnancy and childbirth.

Sessions are conducted in English and organised through the site's booking flow. To begin, the reader is invited to use the platform's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Frances does not take international clients.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Frances works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life changes. One common approach she uses involves practical skill-building to manage anxiety and distress, such as breathing strategies, graded exposure to feared situations, and short behavioural experiments to test new responses. These methods aim to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social or stressful settings.

Another strand of her work looks at patterns in close relationships and attachment. This involves noticing how past relationship patterns affect current behaviour and communication, and practising clearer ways of asking for needs and setting boundaries. That approach often helps with relationship strain and feelings of isolation.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. Frances works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what helps. The client’s feedback guides which techniques are kept, changed, or paused.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer flexible scheduling to help therapy fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
