Connect with Frances Read

I'm a compassionate, responsive, trauma-informed therapist. People come to me to talk through things that are affecting their lives, especially difficulties they are experiencing in relationships with partners, family, friends or colleagues.
As well as working on the immediate issue, we'll look at understanding who you are and how you act and feel in relationships with others. We'll strengthen your sense of self and give you confidence in recognising your needs.
By looking at your past experiences, present situation, and future hopes, the therapy will give you the self-knowledge to make positive changes.
Psychodynamic therapy looks at root causes and how the resulting symptoms are affecting you in your day-to-day life. I will work with you to look for repeating patterns that may be stopping you reaching your goals. While you'll lead the session, we'll collaborate on untangling the material and working out what it means.
As your therapist, I'll be there with you to contain and explore any emotion you might experience. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space to think, feel and understand your emotions and what they might be telling you. If this resonates, please get in touch and we can arrange a free introductory call.
