Frances Fogg, BACP

Frances Fogg offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or depression. She greets each person with respect and a belief that they hold important strengths and knowledge about their own life. Frances writes simply and directly to make the first step feel achievable. Frances has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and supports those coping with loss and major life change. In session she focuses on what people already do well and builds from that. Conversations aim to identify manageable steps and clearer ways to handle difficult feelings. Practical skills and reflective talking form the heart of her approach. She also gives attention to related areas such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems and feelings of isolation. Issues around pregnancy and childbirth, women’s health, workplace stress and social anxiety are additional areas she can address. Frances welcomes people who want straightforward, compassionate help to feel steadier and more in control. She encourages small, realistic changes and helps people make sense of hard experiences while planning practical next steps.

How evidence-based techniques can work online

Frances uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that centre on clear, actionable conversations and practical skill-building. One common approach helps people learn simple tools to manage anxiety and low mood, such as breathing or grounding exercises and planning small daily steps to feel steadier. Another approach focuses on working through difficult experiences like trauma and loss by creating a safe way to tell the story and reduce its daily impact. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels helpful and adapts plans as therapy progresses so the direction stays relevant and workable. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it simpler to meet from different locations when needed. If you plan to work online, confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer ways of meeting that suit people’s schedules and day-to-day constraints.
