Frances Dallison, BACP

Frances Dallison offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood or difficult relationships. She writes simply and listens closely so parents and individuals can talk through what matters most to them. Frances aims to make sessions feel steady and useful from the start.

She has 13 years of experience and works from the United Kingdom. Frances is registered with the BACP, which is shown here as BACP. Her work covers common concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression and grief, and also addresses issues like addiction, eating problems and compassion fatigue.

Frances adapts her approach to each person. She blends ideas from psychodynamic work and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice patterns, test new ways of coping and change unhelpful thoughts. She also uses attachment-based and mindfulness ideas to help with emotional awareness and relationships.

In a typical session she aims for a warm, calm space where someone can talk through their history and current worries. Practical steps and short exercises may be suggested between meetings to try out new habits. The tone is straightforward and reflective rather than prescriptive.

If you are considering therapy Frances asks you to select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. This begins the process of arranging sessions according to therapist availability and the subscription terms.

How Frances's approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present feelings and reactions, and helps people understand patterns that affect closeness and trust. It can be useful for those struggling with abandonment, attachment issues or difficulty forming stable bonds.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress by providing clear steps to change thinking and routine.

Client-centred practice puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and acceptance so the client can find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Frances will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to your goals and preferences. That collaboration means the plan can change as you learn more about what helps.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and the option to have conversations without travelling. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful for regular check-ins, focused skill work or ongoing reflective therapy.
