About Frances
Frances Dallison is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family concerns, loss and grief, work-related strain and related issues such as addictions and eating difficulties.
She helps people talk through attachment and abandonment worries and the strain that blended family arrangements can bring. She also supports those managing anger, communication problems and the effects of domestic violence or separation. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to each person and to reduce immediate distress so day-to-day life becomes more manageable.
Her way of working is integrative. That means she uses ideas from different therapies rather than one fixed method. Frances often draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and actions.
She takes a client-centred stance, listening to what each person brings and adapting the sessions accordingly. Mindfulness tools are available to help with intrusive thoughts and stress management. The overall focus is on practical steps and understanding, not on labels.
Frances accepts people from outside the UK and runs sessions in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Frances commonly combines attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness and can help when loyalty issues or blended family tensions arise. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping.She also draws on client-centred principles, which means the therapist listens carefully and adapts the approach to the person in front of her. Deciding which methods to use is a shared process; the therapist will discuss options and try approaches that match the client’s goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy routine and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight or reduce the need to be on camera by arrangement, depending on the available session formats. The original biography does not specify which remote formats are used, so confirm the exact session options before booking.
