Integrative Approaches and Flexible Online Support
Frances King draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationships influence current patterns - this approach helps people understand connection, abandonment concerns and attachment issues that affect intimacy and partnership. Client-centered therapy forms another core of her practice, offering a warm, empathetic listening style that helps clients feel heard and supported while they find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress and mood difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Frances works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques to suit individuals and couples, combining talking therapy with creative tools like imagery and sand tray work when helpful.
Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging - make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, family and daily commitments. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer consistent, ongoing support with flexibility in scheduling and communication style, so clients can engage in ways that feel most comfortable and practical for them.
