About Frances
Frances Dallison is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of practice. She works with people dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship and family tensions, loss and grief, work-related stress and low self-esteem. Frances also addresses issues linked to abuse, domestic violence and addiction.
She uses an integrative way of working, combining different approaches to suit individual situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one strand she draws on to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Sessions focus on practical steps alongside understanding. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thinking, trying new behaviours and reflecting on past experiences that shape current reactions. Mindfulness-based techniques are sometimes used to support coping with strong emotions.
Frances aims to help people make clearer choices about relationships, parenting and work. She supports people who struggle with control issues, codependency, attachment problems and feelings of emptiness. She also works with those facing separation, blended family challenges and grief.
Her way of working is straightforward and conversational. Clients can expect structured work on specific problems alongside space to talk about wider life patterns. Sessions are conducted in English and practical next steps are agreed together.
How Frances uses different approaches online
Frances commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought and test practical behaviour changes. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions so people can try new responses and see what works. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships affect current connections and communication; it can help with trust, abandonment concerns and repeating relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will discuss your goals and preferences and combine methods that suit your situation. This is done collaboratively so sessions remain focused on the steps you want to take and the difficulties you want to change.
