About Frances
Frances Harry is a BACP-registered counsellor with sixteen years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and the strain of life transitions. Frances also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to prejudice or seasonal mood change.
She creates a calm space where clients can speak without fear of judgment. Conversations are practical and down to earth, focused on what is happening now and what might help next.
Background and approach
Frances encourages people to take small steps that build confidence and coping skills over time. Her approach is client-centred, which means the conversation follows each person’s priorities. The therapist listens, reflects and helps clients make sense of their feelings so they can choose what to try differently.
Sessions emphasise respect and collaboration rather than instruction. Frances has worked with people facing blended family issues, young adult concerns, sexual assault and abuse, and the particular effects of discrimination. She also supports those experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder and other mood changes connected to the seasons.
Starting therapy is presented as a cooperative process. Frances aims to help people find realistic ways forward, whether that means small changes at home or clearer plans for the future. She welcomes enquiries from people in the United Kingdom and from international clients who prefer English.

How Frances works online
Frances aims to work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. That means discussing needs, goals and what feels helpful, then shaping sessions around those priorities. The fit between approach and the person is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-off decision.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work, study or family life and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity during relocation or when living abroad. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they meet your needs and schedule.
