Frances Fogg

Frances Fogg is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She works in a respectful, down-to-earth way and encourages clients to use their own strengths to make change. Frances notes that taking the first step into therapy can feel brave and she aims to make that step easier to take.

She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Frances draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people through practical problems and emotional pain. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to each person and finding manageable ways forward.

In the room she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, then helps to try new ways of coping. She works with people affected by attachment concerns, caregiver stress, long-term illness or chronic pain, and workplace pressures. She also supports those dealing with isolation, social anxiety, issues around pregnancy and childbirth, and questions of life purpose.

Frances aims to collaborate with each client to set realistic goals and small steps. Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical, with attention to emotions and day-to-day life. She invites prospective clients to reflect on what they want from therapy before booking.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online working

Frances uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process emotions and develop practical coping skills. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and trying small, manageable alternatives to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps with stress, depression and social anxiety by breaking problems into steps people can practise between sessions.

Another approach emphasises exploring attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and reduce isolation. This style helps people understand why they repeat certain dynamics and supports them to try different ways of relating and setting boundaries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Frances works with each person to decide which techniques best match their goals, preferences and everyday life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose a setting that suits them for talking and trying practical exercises between meetings.
