About Frances
Frances Dallison is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of practice. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family tensions, grief, parenting pressures and anger. Her work also covers addictions, eating concerns and life changes that feel hard to handle.
She uses an integrative approach that adapts to what each person brings. That means she draws on different methods rather than following just one model. Frances combines psychodynamic ideas about past patterns with cognitive behavioural tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going and on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Frances also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice strong emotions and respond more calmly. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier reactions, and better choices in relationships and at work.
Her background includes working with people affected by abandonment, attachment difficulties, domestic violence and separation. She has experience supporting those dealing with codependency, control issues, dissociation and emptiness. That breadth of experience informs how she matches method to the problem in front of her.
People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation about patterns, concrete coping ideas to try between sessions, and reflection about what matters most to them. To begin, clients are invited to outline their concerns and the therapist will suggest practical next steps and a plan for sessions.
How sessions work
How Frances applies approaches online and what to expect
Frances commonly draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy when working with anger and relationship problems. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape present responses and helps people spot repeating patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing simple behavioural changes to reduce reactivity and stress.She treats the choice of approach as collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try a method that fits those goals, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. That way the method is matched to what the client needs rather than imposed up front.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins around a break at work, avoid travel time, or choose sessions without being on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, have been using these practical formats to keep therapy workable for everyday life.
