Frances King , BACP, NCPS

Frances King is a UK-based counsellor who combines professional training with personal experience to support people through challenging periods in their lives.

She is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and also holds NCPS, a recognised professional counselling credential. Frances has worked in private practice since 2018 and previously spent three years counselling people undergoing cancer treatment and supporting their families.

Frances describes her work as a privilege and is motivated by helping clients move toward a happier, more fulfilling future. Clients say she is very easy to talk to, and she aims to provide an empathic, safe, non-judgmental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings.

Having navigated life’s highs and lows herself, Frances brings personal insight and professional perspective to sessions. She is a creative counsellor who uses visualisation, imagery, symbolic work and sand tray therapy alongside talking therapy to help clients express what can be hard to put into words.

Trained as an integrative counsellor, Frances draws on a range of approaches to tailor the work to each person. She also offers couples and relationship counselling, whether the goal is to strengthen a relationship or to facilitate an amicable ending when that is the couple’s decision.
