Client-centred support online
Frances uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. This approach helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and low self-esteem by prioritising their perspective and personal strengths.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will collaborate with each person to decide which ways of working feel most useful, based on their goals and preferences. Together they set goals, try practical steps and review what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer writing or need more flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and help people connect from other locations in the United Kingdom or abroad.
