I offer a warm, down-to-earth space for adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of who they are. Many of the people I work with are carrying the impact of past experiences, living with anxiety or health worries, or questioning their identity and sense of belonging. Others come to therapy because they have been coping for so long that they feel disconnected from themselves and aren’t sure where to begin.

I also work with clients exploring neurodivergence, such as ADHD or autism, and offer a space where you don’t have to mask or feel pressure to change who you are. Therapy can be a place to understand yourself better, build self-acceptance, and find ways to navigate life that feel more authentic and manageable.

Whether we meet online or face-to-face in Ludlow, Shropshire, my aim is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy offers time to pause and make sense of what you’re carrying, so you can begin to feel more grounded and connected to yourself. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting — we’ll go at your pace, focusing on what feels most important for you.

I believe that counselling is not about fixing you but about creating a space where you can explore your experiences, feelings, and relationships without judgement. Together, we can look at patterns in your life, where they come from, and how they might be affecting you now. This understanding can open the door to new ways of relating to yourself and others, helping you move towards a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and true to who you are.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be carrying the impact of past trauma, struggling with anxiety or health worries, or questioning your identity and place in the world. Perhaps you find yourself caring for everyone else while neglecting your own needs, or you’ve been coping for so long that it’s hard to know where to start.

Therapy offers you space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what you’re carrying. You don’t need to have everything figured out — we’ll go at your pace, focusing on what feels most important for you.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy, which included training in how past experiences can shape present thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. My core training is in person-centred counselling, offering a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s on your mind at your own pace.

When helpful, I integrate ideas from CBT, mindfulness, somatic practices, and solution-focused work so our sessions are flexible and tailored to you, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

I offer support with:

Trauma & Abuse Recovery – making sense of the past, rebuilding trust, and easing feelings of guilt, shame, or low self-worth.

Anxiety & Health Anxiety – understanding worry cycles, learning grounding techniques, and reducing reliance on reassurance.

Family & Relationship Struggles – exploring boundaries, communication, and patterns that keep you stuck.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Support – space to explore ADHD, autism, or feeling “different,” without pressure to mask or change who you are.

Do you sometimes feel like you don’t quite fit in — or that you’re never quite getting life “right”? Maybe you spend a lot of time worrying about what others think, replaying conversations in your head, or feeling exhausted from trying to keep everything together? Perhaps you’ve lost confidence in yourself, feel overlooked, or can’t seem to switch off, no matter how tired you are?

Hello, I’m Fran, a counsellor/psychotherapist based in Ludlow, Shropshire, offering face-to-face, and online counselling for adults across the UK. I work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma, identity issues, and those navigating periods of change or uncertainty.

I have a particular interest in supporting clients who suspect they may be neurodivergent, including those exploring or living with ADHD. I am currently exploring my own possible ADHD diagnosis, which means I can personally relate to many of the difficulties clients describe, such as overwhelm, emotional intensity, self-criticism, and feeling out of sync with others. Alongside my clinical work, I am completing a Certificate in Adult ADHD, due for completion in early 2026, which continues to inform my understanding and practice.

Therapy offers a calm, confidential space to slow things down and make sense of what’s happening. Together, we can explore patterns that may be contributing to feelings of overwhelm or self-criticism, and find ways of working that feel more supportive, grounding, and sustainable for you.

Areas I Work With

* Trauma & Abuse Recovery – making sense of past experiences and easing guilt, shame, or low self-worth - experience working with domestic abuse charities

* Anxiety & Health Anxiety – understanding worry cycles and developing grounding techniques

I offer a free 15-minute phone or video call to give you a chance to see if I feel like the right fit for you before committing to a full session. It’s an informal space for you to ask any questions, share what’s bringing you to therapy, and get a sense of how I work.

If you decide to go ahead, your first full session will be charged at my standard rate. This session is an opportunity for us to explore what’s going on for you, what you’d like to get out of therapy, and whether you’re looking for short-term support or something more open-ended. There’s no pressure to go into detail straight away — we’ll go at your pace.

I may ask some gentle questions to help understand your background and current challenges, but you’re always in control of what you share. 

Whether you’ve had therapy before or this is your first time, you’re very welcome just as you are. My priority is to offer a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can begin to explore what matters to you.
