Counselling
I have only just started but was very pleased with the first session.
Anna Marie Brennan
I wasn't sure what to expect and was very apprehensive but my sessions with Fran have been invaluable. She made me feel completely at ease discussing anything that was on my mind and being able to let my guard down and express difficult emotions was a huge relief. We got to the bottom of damaging thought patterns and worked through tools to deal with them, which I feel confident using on my own now. Her guidance has enabled me to make what have been lasting positive changes. I have been able to develop insight and reflection and in doing so have been able to move forward from very challenging times in my life. I would definitely recommend Fran, she is a wonderful counsellor and I am very glad to know she is there if I need any future help. More...

Counselling
Counselling is an opportunity to share and explore whatever is on your mind or causing you unhappiness, low mood and distress.
Worries about relationships, work, life direction, communication, finances, big decisions, physical and mental abuse, feeling blamed and responsible, being bullied or hurt, constantly feeling shame, guilt and fear, accidents and mistakes, low mood, loss and unresolved trauma may be some of the things you can identify with.
They can become too much to deal with and a sense of hopelessness can become a constant heavy and draining burden creating a belief you are stuck and unable to change.
I am here to listen in confidence and without judgement. I will support you. Working with you towards your goals and working on your problem's I use a weekly measurement tool to monitor change and progress to ensure that you feel heard, understood and respected and you are getting what you need during your counselling session.
Listening without judgement to what is on your mind, exploring and reflection of your thoughts and feelings will enable me to facilitate our work providing psyco education to offer understanding of how your body and brain is often trying to protect you together with a range of self help and self care strategies to use in everyday life will offer you an increased awareness together with a selection of tools to help you support yourself throughout your life.
The weekly measurement tool will evidence your progress. With your increased awareness you will learn to identify and recognise your internal state of being, thinking and feeling and what tools you need to help you to change them.
I have face to face appointments and remote appointments by telephone and video call available for an assessment of your counselling needs. If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
