About Frances

Frances Dennehy is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who helps with anger and a wide range of related concerns. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, depression, anxiety and stress. Frances also works with issues such as addictions, grief, eating concerns, self-esteem and career change.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She focuses on building a trusting relationship so people can talk openly about difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours. That simple, steady connection is the starting point for making changes that matter in everyday life.

Frances uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s priorities at the heart of each session. She helps clients make sense of what’s happening for them, notice patterns and decide what to try next. Practical conversation and time to reflect are balanced in a way that suits each individual.

With four years of experience, Frances has worked with people facing a broad mix of struggles. She pays attention to communication problems, guilt and shame, compassion fatigue and parenting during pregnancy and after childbirth. Her approach aims to help people become clearer about who they are and what they want.

If someone wants to begin, they are invited to reach out and find out more. Frances acknowledges that asking for help can feel hard and offers a calm space to start talking about change.

How Frances uses client-centred work online

Frances uses a client-centred approach that places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. This way of working focuses on listening carefully, reflecting back what the client says and helping them find their own solutions. It is often useful for issues like anger, relationship strain and low self-esteem because it gives space to understand patterns and values.

The collaborative approach means the therapist and client decide together what to focus on. Frances will check goals, try different ways of working and adjust the pace to match the client’s needs and preferences. Finding the right mix of conversation and practical steps is part of the process rather than a fixed plan.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions at times that fit around work or childcare. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical needs while helping clients move towards clearer ways of managing anger and related concerns.
