About Frances
Counsellor (BACP), 13 years' experience. Frances Dallison helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and a range of other issues including grief, low mood, addictions and parenting strain.
She works in an adaptable way, combining ideas from psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural methods. That means sessions can include talking about past patterns and also practical steps to change thoughts and behaviours. She uses client-centred listening to focus on what matters to the person in front of her.
Frances often supports people coping with attachment and abandonment issues, communication or commitment problems, and the effects of separation or domestic violence. She also addresses eating and substance-related difficulties and the emotional fallout of loss and change. Sessions aim to make problems more understandable and manageable rather than rely on labels alone.
In practice she balances exploration with action. Some meetings look at how early relationships shaped current patterns. Other times the work uses structured techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness ideas may be introduced to help with grounding and emotional regulation.
People who contact her can expect a steady, adaptable style that attends to both feelings and practical problem-solving. She is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How Frances uses therapy approaches online
Frances commonly draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help when abandonment or commitment issues are present. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is treated as a shared task. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and the problems you bring, then suggest a way of working that combines conversational exploration with practical steps. Clients and Frances decide together what to emphasise as the work progresses.
The source biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins around work breaks, or sessions that do not require travel. Different ways of meeting can also suit varying energy levels or communication preferences, and Frances will help identify what fits your routine and needs.
