About Frances
Frances Fraser is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She works with individuals who are struggling with family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, addictions and career-related pressures. Frances offers a calm, encouraging presence and believes people have strengths they can use to move forward.
She practises client-centred therapy, which means conversations are guided by the client's needs and pace. Frances listens without judgement and reflects what she hears so clients can make sense of difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, not on a fixed agenda. Over eight years Frances has supported people through life changes, relationship pain, issues with intimacy and problems linked to attachment. She also addresses related concerns such as guilt, shame, isolation and blended family tensions.
The work often includes noticing patterns from family of origin and finding new ways to cope. Frances helps people explore practical steps alongside emotional work. That can mean trying out small changes between sessions, talking through parenting or fatherhood pressures, or reframing a negative thought.
Her style is straightforward and respectful, aiming to make difficult topics easier to approach. She works in English and accepts clients internationally. People who choose to start therapy complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Approaches Frances lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Frances focuses on helping people notice strengths and make choices that fit their life. She tailors conversations to the individual's goals and preferences and checks in together about what is most useful. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step taken as therapy unfolds, not a one-time decision.
Online formats include video calls, telephone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer, face-to-face style sessions, while phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These options give flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings and ways of communicating that suit each person.
