About me
Current availability
*My practice is currently at full capacity, so I’m taking a short pause from accepting new clients. I’ll be reviewing my caseload and availability again in early November. In the meantime, please do feel free to get in touch if you’re considering counselling and would like to be added to my waiting list.*
Life doesn't have to feel this hard.
Perhaps you're exhausted from overthinking, trying to hold everything together or constantly questioning yourself. You might struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries or feeling that you're somehow not quite yourself anymore.
You may be going through relationship or family difficulties, grief or loss, work stress, burnout, difficult experiences from the past, or changes around identity, perimenopause, menopause or midlife.
Or perhaps you've always felt a little different and are wondering whether ADHD, autism or another form of neurodivergence might help make sense of some of your experiences.
Hello, I'm Fran.
I'm a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor offering face-to-face counselling near Ludlow, Shropshire, as well as online sessions across the UK.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth and collaborative. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want from counselling. Together, we can explore what's happening, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck and help you develop greater trust in yourself and your own needs.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety and overwhelm, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, trauma, burnout and work stress, life transitions and neurodivergence.
I have a particular interest in ADHD and autism, including late identification, masking, overwhelm and burnout. You don't need a diagnosis to explore whether neurodivergence might be part of your experience.
Sessions
Face-to-face sessions take place at The Wetmore Clinic in Onibury, near Ludlow, with online counselling also available.
- Sessions are £60 for 50 minutes.
I offer a free 15-minute introductory call, giving us an opportunity to briefly discuss what brings you to counselling, ask any questions and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications
- Certificate in Adult ADHD, The Grove Practice (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.
