About Ruth Frances

Ruth Frances is a qualified, BACP-registered person-centred counsellor who works one-to-one and offers both short-term and longer-term therapy.

She has focused experience supporting people through bereavement and in helping those affected by cancer, alongside providing care for clients experiencing depression and anxiety. Ruth works to create a warm, trusting and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship so that people feel able to discuss matters they may find difficult to raise with those close to them.

Ruth recognises that starting counselling can feel daunting, and she approaches each therapeutic relationship as a step toward the goals an individual hopes to achieve. Outside her private client work, she has worked with Cruse Bereavement Care and Macmillan, undertaking further training and continuing professional development within those organisations. That work provided experience with a diverse range of clients and contributed to her ongoing professional development.

Ruth holds BACP registration, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Could online therapy be the right fit?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care.

Each therapist involved in online work is a licensed professional, and clients may choose to switch to a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be beneficial.
