Frances Harry, BACP

Frances Harry is a UK-qualified counsellor with 16 years of professional experience and membership of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She specialises in supporting people facing stress and anxiety, low motivation, reduced self-esteem and confidence, depression, and the challenges that come with significant life changes. Frances also works with couples to support clearer communication and improved relational patterns, and she has experience helping clients navigate family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and young adult concerns.

Her practice is built around a warm, nonjudgmental approach that encourages clients to share thoughts and feelings openly. Frances aims to create an environment where people feel heard and understood, recognising that making the first move to seek help often takes considerable courage. She listens attentively and works collaboratively with each person to identify practical, positive steps forward that align with their goals and values.

Client-Centered Therapy and Accessible Online Care

Frances works from a client-centered perspective, which places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. This approach emphasizes empathetic listening, validation, and empowering clients to explore their own solutions; it can be helpful for issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and coping with life transitions.

In practice Frances aims to be collaborative and responsive, adapting the pace and focus of sessions to each person’s needs. Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Frances will discuss options with clients and together they will decide what feels most helpful given the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy with Frances offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, on the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments and to access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver effective care through these formats while tailoring the experience to each client’s communication style and needs.
