About Frances
Frances King is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strains, career changes, and ADHD-related challenges.
Frances brings a warm, approachable manner and aims to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing feelings. She trained as an integrative counsellor and has practised in personal work since 2018, with earlier experience supporting people affected by cancer and their family members.
Background and approach
That variety of experience means Frances draws on different ways of working to match a person’s needs. She often uses imagery, visualisation and sand tray work alongside talking therapy when words are hard to find. Frances describes her style as creative and empathetic.
Sessions tend to focus on understanding patterns in relationships and emotions, and on building practical ways to cope day to day. She pays attention to attachment and inner symbolic material, which some people find helpful for making sense of long-standing difficulties. Her listed approaches include Jungian therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy.
Frances is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also holds NCPS accreditation. People who choose to work with her can expect calm, steady support aimed at clearer thinking and gradual change. She aims to help clients find their own solutions and to move towards more manageable, fulfilling ways of living.

Online support
Approaches you may meet online
Jungian therapy looks at personal stories, symbols and dreams to help people make sense of recurring life patterns and emotional themes. It can be useful for those who want to explore meaning, identity or long-standing inner conflicts.Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand their interpersonal patterns and build more supported ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative process means sessions can shift over time as new insights or issues emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual materials, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life, while keeping consistent contact with a registered or accredited professional.
