Frances Fogg, BACP

Frances Fogg is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She works with individuals who are coping with trauma, loss, and other life changes. Frances writes in a calm, straightforward way and encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.

Frances holds BACP registration, which means she meets professional standards in the UK. She has five years of professional experience supporting people through difficult times. Frances believes clients know their stories best and brings that respect into every conversation.

In sessions she listens for strengths and practical steps that can ease daily pressures. She pays attention to how attachment and communication patterns affect relationships. Frances also supports people managing chronic pain, illness or disability and the stresses of caregiving.

Her work addresses social anxiety, workplace strain and challenges around pregnancy and childbirth. She aims to help people feel less isolated and to explore meaning and life purpose when things feel uncertain. Conversations are paced to suit each person’s needs and concerns.

Frances encourages small, achievable changes alongside deeper reflection. She helps people notice what already works for them and build on it. Signing up for therapy can feel daunting, and she aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.

How different approaches can help online

Frances uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour, which can reduce anxiety and low mood by teaching small coping steps. Another approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns to help people understand how past experiences influence current reactions and communication.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Frances discusses options with each person and adapts methods to their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so the client and therapist choose a pace and style that feel manageable.

If you are thinking about online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into busy lives, for example by making it easier to attend from different locations or use shorter check-ins between commitments. Others value the chance to work remotely when managing chronic illness or caregiving duties. Frances will explain practical arrangements and help match the way you meet to what you need.
