About Frances

Frances King is a UK-based counsellor who brings both professional training and personal life experience to her work. She is a registered member of the BACP and holds NCPS credentials - BACP indicates membership of a major UK counselling association and NCPS is a recognised professional counselling credential. Frances has worked in private practice since 2018 and previously spent three years supporting people undergoing cancer treatment and their families.

She describes her role as helping people move forward toward a happier, more fulfilling future, and finds that work deeply rewarding. Clients say she is very easy to talk to, and she aims to offer an empathic, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Having navigated lifes highs and lows herself, she brings personal insight to sessions alongside clinical skills.

Frances trained as an integrative counsellor, which allows her to tailor sessions to each person - blending talking therapy with creative methods such as visualisation, imagery, symbols and sand tray work when words are hard to find. She also provides couples and relationship counselling, whether the goal is to strengthen a partnership or to support an amicable separation when that is the couple's decision.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and emotional responses. It helps people who struggle with abandonment, intimacy-related issues, attachment difficulties, or relationship conflicts to understand needs and build more secure connections.

Client-Centered Therapy offers a warm, non-directive environment where the therapist listens empathically and follows the client's lead. This approach supports self-exploration and can be helpful for low self-esteem, depression, grief, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviours that maintain distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, anger, and mood concerns and gives practical tools for managing symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Frances works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best match a persons needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and communication options such as live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support around work, family and daily life. For many people, this accessibility helps sustain regular therapy and makes it simpler to engage with the therapeutic work.
