About Frances
Frances Dallison helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties. She is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience and speaks English. Frances aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what is troubling them and begin to find clearer ways forward.
She adapts her way of working to suit each person rather than using one fixed method. That means practical strategies can sit alongside deeper reflection about past patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve looking at how early relationships shape current reactions and spotting small, useful changes to thought and behaviour. Frances draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and attachment-based thinking to help clients understand why they feel stuck. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage intense feelings in the moment.
The goal is to reduce distress and build better day-to-day coping skills. She has worked with issues such as addictions, grief, eating and food-related problems, parenting strain and career stress. Frances also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems and separation or divorce.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Frances listens carefully, reflects back what she hears and suggests experiments to try between meetings. Her style is warm and compassionate, focused on helping people take practical steps towards a more manageable life.

Online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and helps the person find their own solutions - useful for building self-worth and making decisions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. In short practical steps, clients learn to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process includes checking in and adjusting methods if something is not helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility - video calls for a fuller conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is an issue, live chat for brief check-ins and text-based messaging for ongoing notes between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use formats that suit different moments and needs.
