About Frances
Frances King is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of NCPS with six years of practice since 2018. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, depression, family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep issues, parenting strains, career concerns, ADHD and related challenges. Frances also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and communication problems.
She draws on a mix of talking therapy and creative methods to help people find the words they need. Visualisation, imagery, symbols and sand tray work are offered alongside conversation when those ways feel helpful. This can make it easier to name feelings and see patterns that are hard to put into speech.
Frances trained as an integrative counsellor, which means she uses several approaches to match what each person needs. Her practice also includes work with couples, whether the aim is improving connection or planning an amicable separation.
Sessions are grounded in practical dialogue about current problems and personal history. She listens to what a person is trying to cope with and then suggests ways to reflect, practise different responses and test new behaviours between sessions.
Her background includes three years supporting people through cancer treatment and their families before moving into private practice. That experience informs how she supports people through loss, serious health challenges and major life changes.
How Frances uses different approaches online
Frances works from an integrative base and commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with fears around rejection, abandonment and intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and aims to make it easier to talk through feelings and decide what matters next.She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. In the first sessions she will listen to the client’s concerns, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use and when to try something different. The therapist offers practical options and checks in about how each approach is working as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of remote sessions should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Ask which session types are available and how they fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. Frances aims to arrange sessions so they fit into everyday life while addressing the issues you bring.
