About Frances

Frances King is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma. She works with concerns such as grief, anger, low self-esteem, sleep problems and parenting strain. Frances also helps with career changes, ADHD-related challenges and intimacy-related issues.

She brings six years of practice experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Frances blends talking with creative techniques like visualisation, imagery and sand tray work to help people name feelings that are hard to put into words.

Background and approach

Her approach aims to make sessions approachable and practical. Sessions are offered in a warm, non-judgemental space where the pace is set by the client. Frances pays attention to patterns coming from attachment and relationship histories and uses that understanding to guide conversations.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Frances has supported people affected by cancer and their families in earlier roles, which gives her experience of illness-related stress and family strain. She offers both individual counselling and relationship work focusing on communication, commitment and amicable separations when needed.

Her style is collaborative and practical. She works with clients to set small objectives and to try out new ways of coping between sessions. People who find talking difficult may find her imaginative tools helpful for expressing complex emotions.

To begin, a short matching process and scheduling step connects people to sessions that suit their needs and availability.

How Frances' approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help uncover those patterns, improve emotional connection and address issues like abandonment or attachment difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own pace and perspective. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection rather than direction, which helps people find their own solutions to problems such as low self-esteem or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online work this can mean identifying unhelpful thinking, practising new responses and setting small tasks between sessions to test changes in daily life.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Frances discusses your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which approaches to use. The process is collaborative and may combine methods to suit your needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual tools, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, live chat can support quick reflections and text messaging is useful for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while using the approaches described above in a way that suits you.
