Frances Basset

Hello there, If you are looking for a Counsellor,  Psychotherapist or Supervisor who offers a warm and welcoming space, I may be just the person for you. Since 2003, I have worked with adults who experience mild anxiety right through to those who endure severe mental distress due to attachment or experiential trauma; abuse, or abandonment and loss. My original training was in Psychosynthesis which is a holistic approach whereby the therapist upholds a fundamental respect for the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of human beings. Over the years I have studied many different ways of working with a range of possible problems. Examples here include; EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), now a mainstream, well researched method for healing traumatic memory and its debilitating effects. In addition I am qualified in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) a drug free method for reducing anxiety for example. 

If you would like to find out more about how I work, or ask about Supervision(see my separate listing under, Supervisor in this directory) I can offer you a first session free of charge in order for you to ask me any questions and for me to find out a little more about what specific help and support you might need. Please email or leave me a voicemail or text, I will respond promptly. 

I offer safe and supportive, integrative supervision to therapists and trainees and have been working with supervisees for about six years. Prior to this, as a university lecturer in health care, I regularly supervised health care professionals and ran action learning sets and support groups.
