About Frances
Frances King offers support for common life problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps people facing grief, trauma, sleeping problems, parenting strains, career change and challenges linked to ADHD. Frances aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
Frances is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also holds NCPS.
Background and approach
She has worked in independent practice since 2018 and supported people affected by cancer in earlier roles. Her clinical experience spans six years in counselling settings. Her approach is adaptable and practical.
She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Hypnotherapy and imagery-based work are offered to help people access feelings and calm the body when words are hard to find. Frances blends talking with creative methods such as visualisation, sand tray work and symbolic techniques.
This can be useful when memories or emotions are difficult to express directly. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client and focus on achievable steps forward. She offers couples and relationship counselling to support people wanting to improve relationships or arrange an amicable ending when that is the agreed decision.
Sessions are offered in English across video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging formats.

Online support
How Frances uses different approaches online
Frances offers a blend of therapeutic methods that can be adapted for online work. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and suggestion to help reduce stress, ease sleep problems and access emotions that feel hard to name. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with communication, trust and intimacy issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and helps people find their own solutions through empathic dialogue.Finding the right approach is a shared task. Frances discusses goals and preferences at the start and adjusts techniques as therapy progresses. She will explain why a particular method might suit a concern and invite the client to try different ways of working until one feels comfortable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make sessions fit daily life. Video calls let people use visual work and guided imagery, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, short text check-ins suit busy schedules and live chat supports quicker reflections between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help therapy fit around work, family and other commitments.
