How Frances’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions let a person talk through their history and notice repeated ways of relating to others, which can help reduce feelings of abandonment and codependency.

Client-centred therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. In this approach the therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects feelings back, and helps them find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or relationship confusion.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Techniques might include small behavioural experiments, thought records or simple coping strategies to manage anxiety and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Frances will explore goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods over time so the sessions fit their needs. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical change and better self-understanding.

Online therapy offers a flexible way to access this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using the same core therapeutic methods.
