Fran is fully committed to providing therapies and counselling in a safe and calm environment where confidentiality is fully respected. Her initial consultation session will offer an opportunity for you to share your concerns and for Fran to assess which approach would be best suited to your needs. It takes courage and commitment to consider counselling therapy but it is well worth the investment. Fran works with individuals across all age groups.
Fran attends regular continued professional development enabling her to fully support her clients through what may be very challenging times for them and has several regular supervisions a month in integrative psychotherapeutic counselling, hypnotherapy and EMDR . Supervision is a statutory requirement to ensure her therapy is of the highest standard.
Fran is a qualified and accredited member of UKCP and is a member of MBACP, which means she has reached a recognised higher level of competence and experience. She is also a member of many organisations that cover and govern the practice of the skills she is trained in. She practises a form of therapy where the client and their needs are the sole focus rather than trying to make one size/ technique fit all. She is able to ascertain and to explore with you the techniques that will suit an individual and at a pace and timing which is the most comfortable and beneficial for you.
During her counselling career she has gained an extensive knowledge and appreciation of a variety of issues that can affect everyday life. She has worked in schools with parents and children and also in private practice with adults, children and families covering many areas including her specialisms of attachment, trauma and dissociation.
Fran says:
“I work hard with all my clients in order to help them shift as quickly as possible towards their goal in the healing process. In particular, I like to encourage my clients to find their strengths to help them manage the challenges of life.”
“Please look at more of the detail under the Therapy services section of this page and my website which gives information on the range of services I can offer to assist you. You do not need to decide on any one particular approach. I consider that I have the knowledge and experience of a range of methodology and can use a mix of whatever is helpful to each individual and their circumstances.”
