About Frances

Frances Fogg helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She works by listening to each person's story and building on their existing strengths to address what feels difficult. Frances is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has five years of professional experience.

Her working style is collaborative and practical. She aims to clarify the problems you are facing, identify what is already helping, and try small, manageable steps that can reduce distress. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on straightforward ways to improve day-to-day coping.

Frances has specialist interests in attachment issues, caregiver stress, and long-term health concerns such as chronic pain and illness. She also supports people with communication problems, workplace difficulties, and social anxiety or phobia. These are areas she commonly addresses in conversation and short-term planning.

She also works with pregnancy and childbirth concerns, women's issues, mood difficulties and life-purpose questions. For someone feeling isolated or struggling after loss, Frances offers structured time to talk things through and consider practical ways forward.

Her approach is suitable for people who want clear, compassionate guidance and practical steps rather than lengthy theory. Frances asks new clients to use the site questionnaire to match with her and to schedule an initial session through the platform.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Frances uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete ways to reduce distress and improve daily coping. One approach looks at current thoughts and behaviours and helps people try small changes to reduce symptoms and increase functioning; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach examines relationship patterns and attachment - it helps people understand how past connections affect present relationships and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will discuss how these methods might fit your situation and will work with you to decide priorities, goals and small steps to try. This is a collaborative process that adapts as you learn what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and other commitments, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. If you prefer shorter check-ins or not being on camera, mention this during booking to see what can be arranged.
