About Frances
Counsellor Frances Dallison is a BACP member with 13 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as loss, abuse and domestic violence.
Frances uses an integrative style. She adapts her way of working to the problem a person brings. That can mean talking through early life experiences, looking at thinking patterns, or learning simple coping practices for day-to-day stress.
She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships affect present feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Mindfulness practices are offered when people want practical ways to steady their mood and attention.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Frances helps people make sense of patterns and then try new ways of behaving. Work can cover relationship patterns, attachment concerns, eating and addiction issues, grief, parenting strain and work-related stress.
Frances accepts international clients and offers work in English. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment via the See online counselling options button. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Frances uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This can help people understand repeated difficulties in close relationships and work on feeling more settled with others.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will discuss goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative step helps shape the plan and the pace of sessions.
Confirm the session formats before booking as these are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, keeping sessions shorter for a work break, or choosing a phone call when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online appointments that match practical needs and daily routines.
