About Frances
Frances Harry helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief. She works in a client-centred way, focusing on the person rather than on techniques. Frances is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has 16 years of counselling experience.
She usually begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on talking through feelings and situations, and on building clearer ways to cope with change. Frances places emphasis on improving communication, including support for people facing blended family issues and those managing prejudice or discrimination.
Her practice includes helping people recover from sexual assault and abuse, and supporting young adults who are finding their way. She also works with seasonal affective disorder and compassion fatigue, using straightforward client-centred methods to explore how daily life is affected and what practical adjustments might help.
Frances aims to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour and to try small, manageable changes. She supports people as they process grief and trauma at a pace they can manage. When appropriate, she talks about ways to improve relationships and communication between partners.
Sessions are conducted in English and Frances accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person chooses the Talk to a counsellor online button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session.
How Frances uses client‑centred work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person is saying. The counsellor offers space to explore feelings and decisions, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and coping with loss.
Frances applies client‑centred principles by prioritising the person's perspective and encouraging them to set the pace. This collaborative approach means the counsellor and client decide together what to focus on and which steps to try next, based on the client's goals and preferences.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or family routines. They also reduce travel time and can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the current session options when you book to know whether video, phone or other formats are available.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
