About me
Hello, I’m Frankie.
Whatever has brought you here, I understand the courage it takes to reach out for support. Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to understand themselves, reading books, listening to podcasts or trying different approaches, yet still find themselves repeating the same patterns. You might be experiencing anxiety, ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, loneliness, or simply feel that something isn’t quite right, even if you can’t yet put it into words.
Together, we’ll look beyond symptoms to explore the unconscious patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions and relationships. Rather than focusing only on what’s happening today, we’ll work to understand where those patterns came from, what purpose they’ve served, and how they may be keeping you stuck. My aim is to help you develop greater self-understanding, self-trust and lasting change.
Many of the people I work with appear to cope well on the outside but privately struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, difficult relationships or feeling disconnected from themselves. Others come because they’re navigating grief, burnout, life transitions or simply want to understand themselves more deeply.
I offer individual therapy for adults, online and in person. I’m a fully qualified Adult Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with an accredited qualification, a registered member of the BACP (MBACP), an Enhanced DBS certificate and professional indemnity insurance.
My approach is relational and tailored to you. While Transactional Analysis is my primary modality, I integrate a range of evidence-informed approaches, including person-centred therapy, psychodynamic thinking, attachment theory, developmental psychology, trauma-informed practice and contemporary neuroscience. Rather than applying the same approach to everyone, I tailor therapy to your unique experiences, needs and goals.
Alongside my professional training, I’ve also spent many years in therapy myself. Whilst your experiences will be uniquely yours, I understand what it feels like to sit in the client’s chair and the courage it takes to trust someone with your story.
For me, the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change. I believe people grow when they feel safe enough to be honest, curious enough to understand themselves differently, and supported enough to try something new.
If you’re considering therapy, you don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. I’d be happy to explore whether we’re the right fit.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
