About Frances

Frances Dallison is a UK-based counsellor with 13 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She works with concerns such as relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, addictions, eating issues and problems with self-esteem. Frances explains things in straightforward language and aims to create a calm space where people can talk and be heard.

Her practice takes an integrative approach. She blends ideas from psychodynamic therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person's needs.

Background and approach

That means she helps people understand patterns from the past while also working on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Frances uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections. She also draws on mindfulness to help people manage stress and intrusive thoughts.

Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on simple, realistic steps forward. Her manner is warm and compassionate, and she encourages honest conversation about difficult topics. People often come for help with life transitions, parenting strains, workplace pressure or repeating relationship patterns.

Frances is listed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions that fit around modern life and aims to support people to make changes that feel useful and workable.

How Frances uses therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people board the link between past hurts and present reactions. This can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment fears and struggles with trust.

Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the work, with the counsellor listening without judgement to help people find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Frances works with each person to decide what fits best. She discusses goals and preferences together and adapts methods as the work develops, so the plan can change if something isn’t working.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and busy days while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work itself.
