About Frances
Counsellor Frances Fogg is a BACP member with five years of professional experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression.
Frances uses practical conversations to help people spot strengths and cope with hard moments. She treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can fit into day-to-day life.
Her practice also pays attention to attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and communication problems. Frances supports people dealing with loneliness, workplace strain, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and women’s health issues. She also works with mood disorders and social anxiety.
Frances draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps clients understand patterns in thoughts and behaviour, and tries to build ways of responding that reduce distress. Work in sessions is conversational and aims to leave people with practical strategies they can use between meetings.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Frances offers counselling in English and does not work with international clients at present.
How Frances uses evidence-based approaches in online counselling
Frances draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions. Cognitive approaches look at how thoughts link to feelings and actions, and help people learn different ways of responding to anxiety and low mood. Behavioural methods focus on changing routines and testing small steps that reduce avoidance and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping appointments when travel is difficult. For example, online meetings can save travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or make it easier to meet when mobility or health issues make leaving home harder. Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which ways of meeting are offered.
