Frances Dallison, BACP

Frances Dallison is a UK-based counsellor who helps people dealing with jealousy-related concerns alongside anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship stress. She offers a calm, warm presence and practical ways to understand feelings. Sessions aim to make difficult emotions easier to talk about and to find small changes that help day-to-day life.

She adapts her approach to each person. Frances draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses.

In practice she keeps things straightforward. Conversations explore what matters most to the client and what gets in the way. Sometimes they identify patterns from earlier relationships or family life that affect trust and closeness now.

Frances includes mindfulness techniques when helpful, to bring attention to the present moment and reduce overwhelm. She works at a pace people find manageable and focuses on practical steps between sessions. Many people use this time to practise new ways of responding to jealousy, worry or conflict.

With 13 years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Frances combines professional knowledge with an approachable style. People are invited to start where they are and to shape therapy around their goals and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Frances draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships and past experiences shape present feelings, which can help when jealousy or attachment worries keep returning. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding, useful for anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Frances collaborates with clients to agree what feels most helpful, taking into account their goals, preferences and the patterns that come up in conversation. This is a flexible process and the plan can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins during a workday or to meet from different locations, so therapy can continue when routines change. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to make regular work on issues like jealousy, anxiety and relationship difficulties more manageable.
