About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or not quite where you expected to be in life?
Perhaps you find yourself overthinking conversations, doubting your decisions, comparing yourself to others or feeling as though you're never quite good enough, despite trying your best?
Outwardly, you may appear capable and successful, while privately struggling with anxiety, low confidence, self-criticism or a sense that you're simply getting through each day.
You might be experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, grief, loss or the impact of difficult past experiences. Or perhaps you're beginning to wonder whether ADHD, autism or another form of neurodivergence could help explain some of your experiences.
Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Hello, I'm Fran
I'm a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor based near Ludlow, Shropshire, offering face-to-face counselling at The Wetmore Clinic in Onibury, as well as online and telephone sessions across the UK.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions and identity concerns. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who appear to be coping on the surface but privately feel stuck, disconnected from themselves or unsure of their next step.
I also have a particular interest in supporting adults exploring ADHD, autism and late-identified neurodivergence. I have completed a Certificate in Adult ADHD and work in a neuro-affirming way, supporting clients experiencing challenges such as emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, masking and rejection sensitivity.
How I Work
I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgmental space where you can slow things down and begin to make sense of your experiences.
My approach is integrative and collaborative. Together, we might explore:
• Anxiety, overwhelm and burnout
• Self-esteem, confidence and self-criticism
• Relationships and boundaries/people pleasing
• Trauma and difficult past experiences
• Identity and life transitions
• Grief and loss
• Work-related stress
• ADHD, autism and neurodivergence
Sessions
Face-to-face sessions are available at The Wetmore Clinic, Onibury, near Ludlow, Shropshire.
I also offer online and telephone counselling across the UK.
Weekly, fortnightly and monthly appointments are available.
Free Introductory Call
I offer a free 15-minute introductory call so that we can discuss what brings you to counselling and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications
- Certificate in Adult ADHD, The Grove Practice (Completed Feb 2026)
- BSc (Hons) Counselling and Psychotherapy, Warwickshire College (Sep 2023 – Jun 2024)
- FdSc Counselling Theory and Practice, Staffordshire University (2021 – 2023)
Therapeutic Approach
I am a person-centred counsellor with an integrative approach, which means I adapt my work to suit each individual client rather than following one rigid model.
Alongside general counselling, I have a particular interest in supporting adults with ADHD or ADHD traits, and I have completed additional training in Adult ADHD. My work often includes helping clients understand patterns such as overwhelm, emotional dysregulation, difficulties with organisation or focus, and the impact these can have on confidence, relationships and daily life.
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.
