About Frances
Frances Dennehy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with relationship stress, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and issues related to self-esteem and identity. She also works with clients facing addiction, grief, intimacy challenges, eating difficulties, anger, ADHD and career worries.
Frances lists LGBT among her areas of focus and is able to talk about those concerns in sessions in English. Frances prioritises building a trusting, caring relationship with each person she sees.
Background and approach
She aims to create a space where difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be talked through without judgement. That gentle stance helps people begin to understand themselves and what they want. In practice she uses a client-centred approach, which places the person’s experience at the centre of the conversation.
Sessions are paced to the individual and focus on what matters most to them. Frances listens, reflects and helps people make sense of patterns that cause pain or get in the way. She has four years of experience and holds the NCPS credential.
Frances encourages realistic goals and small steps, such as clearer communication, healthier coping strategies, or changes to daily routines. She also supports people working through guilt, shame, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, and developing self-love. To begin a conversation, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule.
Frances notes that reaching out can feel hard and that taking the first step is important.

Client-centred approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The counsellor listens with empathy, reflects what is heard, and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for relationship worries, low mood, self-esteem work and coping with life changes.Frances uses these principles to tailor conversations around what each person brings to the room. Finding the right approach is part of the work and she will collaborate with clients to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences.
Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, as they can remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins between other commitments. If you are considering therapy online, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know how appointments will be delivered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to make regular contact more feasible and to support steady progress.
