Frances Dallison

Frances Dallison is a UK counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and relationship problems. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, grief, addiction and difficulties linked to family life. Frances brings a calm and compassionate presence to sessions and aims to help people feel more understood and better able to cope.

With 13 years of experience, Frances uses an integrative style. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns and on cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to find practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also uses attachment-based and mindfulness approaches when these suit someone's needs.

In practice she keeps the work straightforward. Conversations explore what matters now and how earlier experiences may be shaping current choices. Together the counsellor and client set small, manageable goals and test ways of coping that fit everyday life.

Frances is BACP registered, which indicates her membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. International clients may be accommodated, and practical arrangements are discussed during the first contact.

To begin, people are asked to use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling follows the therapist's availability and the subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Frances uses therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections affect current relationships and trust. Online sessions using this approach can help people recognise repeating patterns and try different ways of relating in everyday life.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening deeply and following what the client brings to sessions. This approach supports people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to make sense of difficult feelings and build confidence.

CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it breaks large problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs and preferences, and adjust them as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to continue therapy when life is changing, and it supports people who need to manage sessions around work or caring responsibilities.
