How Frances' approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and responses. It can help when jealousy, abandonment worries or attachment issues affect how someone relates to others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems and gives tools to change patterns in daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods as therapy progresses. That means sessions can combine relational thinking, practical CBT techniques and creative exercises when appropriate. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, for example by avoiding travel and saving time between commitments. It also allows a flexible rhythm of shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on need. Working online can let people use visual or symbolic materials during sessions and still keep a steady pace of progress with life responsibilities.
