My website
Hi, I'm Frances. I'm a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor working with young people aged 5-25. I offer therapy that includes talking, creative arts and play, tailored to each young person I work with. My practice focusses on building a trusting relationship with each child I get to know, supporting them to express and process their experience with a deeply empathetic response. I also offer parent/carer support sessions. I keep up to date on the latest neurobiological understandings of how therapy can restructure neural pathways, repair attachment bonds and facilitate recovery from trauma.
I integrate different theories and modalities of working to address your child's individual needs. I work with a variety of issues including early developmental/attachment ruptures, anxiety and low mood, depression, self-harm and acute trauma or adverse life circumstances.
Reaching out when your child is struggling can feel daunting. I offer a free 15-minute call to discuss your child's needs and see how I can support your child. I offer a non-judgemental, supportive space to share your concerns. I believe in supporting you as a parent alongside your child, and offer parent consultations and reviews throughout the therapy.

I support young people who are struggling without a sense of the root cause, and those who have been through trauma, abuse or had adverse experiences. I build a deep relationship with each child to understand how they see themselves and others in the world. I work to provide clients with the tools to process their emotions and experiences, and build a new sense of themselves.

I integrate different theoretical approaches to create a unique treatment plan for your child. Research shows that the relationship your child builds with their therapist is the most important factor in therapeutic outcomes. I use a broad range of interventions and modalities to think deeply about what your child is experiencing and build a meaningful relationship with them.
