About Frances
Frances King welcomes people seeking support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression and grief. She also helps with family difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, parenting pressures, career change, ADHD-related concerns and other life adjustments. Frances is named at the start so readers know who they are considering.
Frances trained as an integrative counsellor and has practised in private work since 2018. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also holds NCPS. Her approach blends talking therapy with creative ways of working when words are hard to find.
Sessions use techniques from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred practice. Frances also draws on hypnotherapy, Imago relationship ideas and Jungian-influenced imagery when helpful. These methods are selected to match what a person wants to focus on.
She often uses visualisation, imagery, symbols and sand tray work alongside conversation. That can make feelings easier to spot and name during a session. Frances says her own life experience informs a warm, down-to-earth style in the room.
Frances has supported people affected by cancer and their families in earlier roles, and she brings that background into her current practice. People who choose her can expect collaborative planning, where the next steps are agreed together.
How Frances's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It helps when difficulties with closeness, trust or fear of abandonment affect day-to-day life. Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and helps people try new experiments to change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Frances will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as sessions progress.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also make some creative approaches adaptable through guided imagery, talking and using items from home to support exercises. Registered or accredited professionals often combine practical scheduling with the therapeutic approach to help sessions slot into everyday life without making promises about particular formats.
