About Frances
BACP. 13 years' experience. Frances Dallison works with stress, anxiety, relationships and family concerns, as well as low self-esteem, addiction, grief and eating issues. She takes an integrated approach, combining several therapy methods to help people understand patterns and make practical changes.
Frances adapts her work to the needs of each person she sees. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns and attachment-based thinking to consider how relationships shape feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and mindfulness exercises to improve present-moment coping.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps alongside opportunities to reflect. Frances aims to help people identify repeated ways of thinking or relating, and then try different ways of responding. This can include practical tools for stress, exercises to notice thoughts, and talking through relationship patterns.
She has over a decade of experience in the United Kingdom and works in English. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and coping with separation or divorce.
Frances explains approaches in straightforward terms and works collaboratively to agree goals. People who want to explore career stress, parenting strain, compulsive behaviours or persistent low mood often seek this style of combined therapy.

How Frances uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Frances commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses; this can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment fears and attachment issues. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and agree together which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps match techniques to each person's needs and day-to-day life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets between sessions so therapy is easier to carry into everyday routines.
