Frances Dennehy
Warm client-centred counsellor for practical support
About Frances
Frances Dennehy helps people facing relationship strain, family tensions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety and stress. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy issues, eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Frances welcomes conversations about communication problems, guilt and shame, pregnancy and childbirth, and building self-love.
She works in a warm, accepting way that aims to build trust quickly. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the person sitting across from her.
Background and approach
Frances uses a client-centred approach, which means the conversation follows the client’s pace and priorities. In practice she listens carefully and reflects back what she hears so clients can better understand their thoughts and feelings. That clarity helps people spot patterns, make different choices and try new ways of coping.
The work is practical and grounded in everyday life rather than long lectures or tests. Frances has four years of experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. She works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and choose a start time that suits them. Frances aims to make first contact straightforward and supportive for those who are taking the step to ask for help.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred care and online access
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation. The counsellor mirrors back what is heard, helping people clarify their feelings and priorities. This approach is well suited to relationship concerns, self-esteem work, grief, and experiences of trauma where being heard matters most.Frances uses a conversational, listening-led style that aims to understand each person’s perspective. Choosing the right way of working is a shared task - she will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt her approach as the work progresses. This collaborative attitude helps shape sessions that feel useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines and preferences. Video lets people read facial expressions and body language, while phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter conversations or people who find writing easier than talking. These options give practical flexibility for scheduling, travel and daily life while still allowing focused therapeutic work with registered or accredited professionals.
