About Frances

Frances Dennehy works with people on relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety and stress. She uses a client-centred way of working and has four years' experience as an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom.

Frances focuses on talking through difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She aims to build a trusting working relationship where clients can speak without judgement. Sessions look at what gets in the way of everyday life and what a person wants to change.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and anger. She also supports people with self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include communication problems, guilt and shame, pregnancy and childbirth, self-love and ADHD-related challenges.

In sessions Frances listens and follows the client’s pace. The client-centred approach means the conversation is guided by what the person brings each time. This often involves reflecting on feelings, noticing patterns and trying different ways of responding to difficult situations.

She practises from the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. To start, the service asks people to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Frances uses client-centred counselling online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's concerns rather than directing the conversation. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what a person says, asks gentle questions and helps the person make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. This approach can help with relationship issues, low mood, stress and thinking through life changes.

Frances also applies these principles to work on trauma, parenting difficulties and communication problems by giving space to the client to describe their experience and by noticing patterns together. The aim is to help clients identify small, manageable changes that reduce conflict and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Frances will work with each client to agree what feels most useful. She discusses goals and preferences with the client and adjusts the sessions as those goals evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel and can reduce the need to commute. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and the chance to continue work when life plans change.
