About Fran
Fran Berger-North is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings four years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and loss. Fran aims to make therapy approachable and practical for someone trying to cope day to day.
Fran meets each person where they are and helps them understand patterns that keep causing pain. She listens for how past experiences influence present feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
Together they identify small, doable steps to reduce anxiety, improve relationships and manage grief. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems. Fran also supports people dealing with emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation, workplace stress and social anxiety.
Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Clients can expect time to tell their story, reflection on recurring patterns, and collaborative planning for change. The aim is greater self-awareness and more confidence in day-to-day choices.
Fran offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and routines. She works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Finding the right method is a joint effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the way they work to suit each person. Clients take part in choosing tasks and deciding the pace, so therapy stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier on a busy day. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions or when writing helps express thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel commitments, while enabling regular contact with registered or accredited professionals.
