Frances King , BACP, NCPS

Frances King is a UK-based counsellor who combines practical experience with a gentle, creative approach to help people move forward. She has been in private practice since 2018 and previously spent three years supporting people undergoing cancer treatment and their families. Frances values the opportunity to support clients toward a happier, more fulfilling future and approaches each relationship with warmth and commitment.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS credentials. These qualifications reflect her professional training and affiliation with recognised counselling standards. Frances describes her practice as integrative, which allows her to blend different methods to meet each client’s needs rather than following a single rigid model.

Clients report that she is easy to talk to; she aims to offer an empathic, safe, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Having experienced life’s highs and lows herself, Frances draws on personal insight alongside clinical skills to enrich sessions.

As a creative counsellor she uses imagery, visualisation, symbols and sand tray techniques alongside talking therapy to help clients express experiences that can be hard to put into words. She also provides couples and relationship counselling, whether couples want to strengthen connection or work toward an amicable separation when that is the agreed path.
