Frances Dallison

Frances Dallison is a UK-based counsellor who supports people dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship and family concerns, and eating or food-related issues. She has a practical style and aims to help clients make sense of difficult feelings. Her manner is warm and compassionate and she works to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them.

With 13 years of experience, Frances adapts her approach to each person’s needs. She uses ideas from psychodynamic work to look at patterns from the past that affect the present. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build different ways of coping.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps as well as on understanding deeper emotional themes. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice their reactions and feel less overwhelmed. Frances pays attention to how attachment and early relationships shape current responses to stress and relationships.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, and career-related pressures. Frances also supports people with issues around abandonment, codependency, and dissociation. She aims to help people find changes that fit their life and values.

Frances is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she is based in the United Kingdom. To begin, readers should use the site tools to match with her and arrange the first appointment.

How Frances uses therapy online and different approaches

Frances works from an integrative stance and commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns, which can help when people struggle with connection, abandonment or relationship worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a way forward together. That collaborative process means methods can be blended and adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online or in-person session formats are used, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people meet a therapist from different regions, which can widen options when searching for the right therapeutic fit.
