About Frances
Frances Dallison is a UK-based counsellor with 13 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, low mood and relationship and family issues. She also helps those struggling with grief, work-related stress, addiction concerns and problems with self-esteem. Her approach is warm and compassionate and aimed at helping people understand themselves more clearly.
Frances works integratively and adapts to the needs of each person. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Frances listens closely, reflects what she hears and offers straightforward tools to try between meetings. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when these come up, and helps people spot patterns in how they relate to others.
People often come with concerns about codependency, communication problems, commitment worries or emptiness. Frances supports work on these areas by combining short-term strategies with deeper exploration of personal history. This mix aims to reduce immediate distress while building longer term change.
Frances is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with English-speaking clients. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works with international clients as appropriate.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current ways of relating and feeling. It can help when abandonment, attachment issues or codependency are causing distress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a non-judgemental, listening relationship where the person leads the pace and topics; it can be useful when someone needs a steady, supportive space to work through emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and simple strategies to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Online meetings can also make it simpler to use brief check-ins or to focus on exercises without a long commute.
