Navigating Seasons

Welcome to My Warm and Nurturing Space!

I’m Fran a BACP-accredited integrative counsellor offering remote therapy by phone or video across the UK. I work with young people (16+) and adults who are going through life transitions, living with disability or chronic health conditions, or feeling the impact of anxiety, low self-esteem, or identity struggles.

You might be facing a recent diagnosis, adjusting to sight loss, dealing with burnout, or simply feeling like you don’t quite fit in. Perhaps you’ve felt unseen, overwhelmed, or pushed to the margins by society, your background, your health, or past experiences. My aim is to offer you a calm, supportive space to work through what’s going on, at your pace.

I’m a trauma-informed counsellor, which means I’m always mindful of how past experiences can shape how we feel and cope today. I’ll work at your pace, with care and respect, creating a space where you can feel safe enough to begin to make sense of things.

As a Black British Caribbean woman living with severe sight impairment and chronic health conditions, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. I understand how layered life can be, and I offer a compassionate, down-to-earth approach where you don’t need to explain everything, just come as you are.

Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences in a way that helps you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself.
