About Frances
Frances King is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with sleep and rest concerns alongside stress, anxiety and relationship issues. She also helps with anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief and intimacy-related problems. Frances welcomes conversations about parenting, career change, ADHD and coping with major life changes.
She trained as an integrative counsellor and has practised in private work since 2018. Before private practice she spent several years working with people affected by cancer and their families. Frances is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS certification.
Frances aims to make sessions easy to enter. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space and uses listening, questions and reflection to help people find clearer ways forward. She also brings her own life experience to the work, which she uses to relate to what people bring into sessions.
In counselling she uses creative methods when words are hard to find. Visualisation, imagery, symbols and sand tray methods sit alongside talking therapy to help people express feelings and test out different perspectives. These tools are chosen to suit each person’s needs.
Frances also provides couples and relationship counselling. That work can focus on improving connection or on helping couples manage a respectful separation when that is the agreed aim. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what people feel ready to do.
Approaches that shape online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, or avoid connecting, with others and is often used when relationship patterns and attachment issues are a concern.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which can help when someone needs space to make sense of difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Frances will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and may change as sessions progress.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break and offer options when someone prefers not to be on camera. Confirm the current session formats before booking so arrangements match your practical needs.
