About Frances

Frances Dennehy is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, parenting worries, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and stress. She also works with concerns such as grief, addictions, intimacy issues, eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career uncertainty. Frances lists pregnancy and childbirth among her focus areas and helps clients manage related feelings and changes.

She emphasises building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship. That relationship is the starting point for talking through difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Sessions aim to help people understand who they are and what they want. The tone in sessions is warm and direct, with an emphasis on honest conversation.

Frances uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach. That means she listens closely and follows the client’s pace rather than imposing a fixed agenda. People who prefer being heard and reflected back often find this style helpful.

With four years' experience and the NCPS credential, Frances works in the United Kingdom and brings practical, everyday support to emotional problems. She focuses on reducing internal conflict and helping clients make clearer choices about relationships, parenting and life changes.

If contacting someone feels hard, Frances aims to make the first steps straightforward. She encourages small steps and acknowledges the courage it takes to ask for help.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about being heard and guided rather than directed. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s pace to help them understand their feelings and make clearer choices. This approach is often useful for relationship concerns, grief, parenting stresses and emotional reactions linked to pregnancy and childbirth.

Finding the right approach can take a few sessions. Frances will work together with each person to see what feels most helpful and adapt the way she works to match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process is part of the counselling itself.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and to keep continuity between meetings. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or for sessions without relying on video when bandwidth is an issue. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to support emotional change while working around everyday commitments.
