Constance Ffrench

Welcome to my page; my name is Constance Ffrench. I run a very welcoming and comfortable private practice.

I am a registered BACP integrative counsellor, using practical approaches from different schools of therapy to allow clients to actively shed light on issues within sessions for in-depth understanding.

In addition to talking therapy, creative interventions such as visualisation, art and object-relational approach are used with clients so they can feel empowered enough to look at some of the unhelpful ways that they may be relating to others. These interventions also help individuals to find new and positive ways of dealing with challenging situations, intending to promote a holistic sense of self.

I work with clients with a wide range of issues, including Bereavement, family issues, relationship issues, work-related issues, Lack of Confidence and Self-Esteem, Depression/Anxieties and overall Well-being.

• Loss/grieving

The loss of a loved one; is one, if not the most unimaginable experience we go through in life. This experience and the depth in which it impacts a person may also be determined by how close of a relationship you had. The grieving process will be different for everyone, even those from the same household. This is because everyone has their ways of coping with situations. For example, some people may feel that it is wrong for them to carry on with life when a loved one has died, and the only way to still feel connected with the loved one is to be in constant pain; as a way of showing that they care, because to feel differently to this will be a betrayal to what relationship they had with their loved one. At the same time, others can cope reasonably better with the death of a loved one.

• Confidence and Self-Esteem

We all have areas in our lives where we are more confident and have greater esteem than others. However, understanding that we have choices and can choose to change aspects of our lives in how we communicate or approach certain situations enables us to start changing our unhelpful patterns of relating to ourselves and others to more positive ways of relating.

Our confidence and esteem can be directly or indirectly affected by how we view ourselves in our world. This may be due to experiences such as being bullied, being victimised or feeling unwanted through changes in our family dynamics. Counselling with me will enable you to rebuild your confidence and self-esteem and take back your control to live the life you choose to live.

We all like to be listened to by someone who sees and hear us.

Someone who understands that our concerns are very personal to us and recognises that even though we may present with similar concerns as other people, the way that our mind processes our situations will be different to how other people process their fears because we are all unique in how we perceive our inner world.
