Frances Connell

Hello and welcome. Are you feeling helpless or hopeless; wanting to face things that have been troubling you for some time but have been bottling up or ignoring it? You may be experiencing relationship problems or navigating a change in circumstances that is difficult to manage emotionally or perhaps you just want to have space to offload and get past difficult stuff that has happened - then I am here to help you.

Taking the first step can sometimes feel quite daunting as life can be a challenge at times and whatever has brought you to my page I would like to welcome you.

I am an integrative counsellor working with adults (18 and over) who feel overwhelmed or like they just can't take 'one more thing'; finding it hard to trust themselves and others; feeling anxious and/or depressed due to past traumas, current or past relationship issues or suffering work related stress and are finding it hard to cope with their bad and consuming thoughts and feelings.

My philosophy is to provide a down to earth; supportive, yet challenging service, in order that we build a relationship that focuses on you and what you need. I use a few different counselling approaches and simple techniques which I am also able to adapt depending on what you bring to each session.

I have been practicing as a counsellor for several years and regularly support people with "everyday" troubles as well as those living with enduring mental health difficulties. I regularly work with issues around health, divorce and separation; relationships and relationship problems, emotional difficulties, stress and anxiety, depression, behavioural problems, trauma and childhood trauma, loss and bereavement, self esteem and workplace stress.

I have a special interest in working with anxiety, difficult relationships, infertility & CNBC. Together, we can help you find new meaning & greater satisfaction in your life.

If you would like to have a chat please do get in touch.

Therapy is a collaborative process and I am able to draw upon many different approaches as a qualified integrative counsellor to tailor it to your needs.

I offer space for us to work together, to explore your thoughts without judgement and provide you with a greater understanding of yourself giving clarity to move forward.

I have gained a lot of experience working with Clarity, a local mental health charity in North Devon and I have previously worked for the NHS.

I have a range of experience through private practice and my previous voluntary work as a counsellor at Clarity.

I work with adults of 18 years and above and can work in groups and 1:1 and offer short and long term therapy to suit your needs.

I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation to discuss what you are looking for and whether you feel I am the right fit for you.

Sessions will be charged £45 for a 55-60 minute session

How Counselling works

Counselling is a safe place for you to talk openly about what is troubling you and the subsequent emotions and feelings in order that you feel both seen and heard. Counselling also enables you to speak freely without judgement and to be heard both with empathy and compassion.

We may agree some goals at the beginning and this will be regularly reviewed to ensure we are on the right path.

I am an integrative counsellor and therefore I am trained and experienced in using a variety of different counselling theories and techniques, including transactional analysis; gestalt; psychodynamic and person centred approaches. This allows me to work with different modalities which may be of benefit to you, although I can work flexibly and will be guided by you as I understand each of us is unique and experiences life differently. I may also offer tools and techniques in order to help you manage.

The therapeutic relationship is so important to the success of therapy and therefore I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation to discuss what you are looking for and to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease to work with me.

I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation in order to find out how I may be able to help and for you to see if I am the right fit for you. 

I currently work Mondays, Tuesday s, Wednesdays and Fridays.

My hours are 9:30 to 8:30pm and I currently have some slots available in the evening but more limited.

I am available to clients in the Maidstone area ONLINE only or on the telephone
