About Frances
Frances Dennehy is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who supports people facing relationship strain, family tensions, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and stress. She also helps with addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and career pressures. Frances is listed with the NCPS.
She focuses on building a trusting, caring relationship with each person who comes to sessions. That relationship is the starting point for talking about difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours without judgement. Frances aims to help people get to know themselves better and to clarify what they want from their relationships and life.
In practical terms she listens closely and follows the person’s pace in sessions. Conversations tend to centre on what is happening now, patterns that repeat, and small steps that can reduce conflict and distress. Parents may find time spent on coping strategies and clearer communication especially useful.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She encourages honesty and gentle self-reflection rather than rushing to change. Many people find this approach helps them feel understood and more able to try different ways of relating.
If someone is unsure what to expect, Frances invites them to make an initial enquiry. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges the effort involved in reaching out.
Client-Centred Work and Online Support
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises understanding the person as they are. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects back what they hear, and helps the person explore their feelings and choices. This approach can help with relationship strain, parenting worries, depression, anxiety and the effects of trauma.Because Frances follows a person-centred way of working, the focus is on what the individual needs and on building a trusting relationship. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey and Frances will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. Together they will look at goals, preferences and what feels manageable for the person seeking support.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school runs, work breaks or caring responsibilities. It can also offer shorter check-ins when life feels busy, or an option that avoids travel. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy consistent and workable with day-to-day life.
