Frances Dennehy, NCPS

Frances Dennehy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people work through relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, stress and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with addictions, LGBT issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Frances works with communication problems, guilt and shame, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and building self-love.

Frances focuses on building a trusting and caring connection with each person. She aims to create a space where difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be talked about without judgement. That kind of relationship helps people understand who they are and what they want.

Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, which places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. That means the pace, topics and goals are guided by the individual rather than a rigid plan. Frances listens closely and reflects what she hears to help people make sense of their situation.

Sessions are plain spoken and practical. Conversations are used to identify patterns that cause distress and to try new ways of responding. The emphasis is on supporting small, doable changes that fit into everyday life.

Frances has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS. To begin, she asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person you are and your experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps you make sense of difficult emotions. This approach is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship struggles, grief and stress because it centres your perspective and helps you find your own solutions.

Another key element in Frances's work is building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship. That relationship is the tool for change - once a person feels heard, they can try different responses to old problems and notice what works for them. This method helps with trauma, parenting tensions and ongoing anxiety by moving at the client’s pace and focusing on small, practical steps.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Frances will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. The decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and daily routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent alongside other commitments.
