Counselling Ludlow, Shropshire & Online Nationwide
Welcome to Fran Mayer Counselling
Supporting you through challenging times — and helping you feel confident again
Counselling in Ludlow, Shropshire & Online Across the UK
How I Work
Choosing a counsellor can feel like a big decision.
You may be wondering what counselling will actually be like, whether you'll feel comfortable talking openly, or whether therapy is even the right step for you.
My aim is to provide a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk freely about whatever is important to you.
My Approach
I work in a person-centred and relational way.
This means I believe that many of our difficulties make sense when we understand them in the context of our life experiences, relationships and circumstances.
Rather than telling you what to do or offering quick fixes, I work alongside you to help you better understand yourself, your emotions and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Together, we can explore:
- Anxiety and overwhelm
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Relationships and communication
- Trauma and past experiences
- Grief and loss
- Identity and life transitions
- ADHD and neurodivergence
What Sessions Are Like
Every client is different, so counselling is tailored to your individual needs.
Some sessions may focus on what's happening in your life right now. Others may involve exploring past experiences and understanding how they continue to affect you today.
There is no expectation that you have everything figured out before you begin. We work at your pace and focus on what feels most important to you.
ADHD & Neurodivergence
Alongside my general counselling practice, I have a particular interest in supporting adults who are exploring ADHD, autism and late-identified neurodivergence.
I have completed a Certificate in Adult ADHD and work in a neurodiversity-affirming way. You do not need a diagnosis to work with me.
A Little About Me
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked within mental health services, including supporting individuals in a secure prison setting.
Today, I work with adults both face-to-face and online, providing a space where they can feel heard, understood and supported.
- My hope is that counselling feels like somewhere you don't need to have all the answers — just somewhere you can begin.
- Feel more connected to who you are
Testimonial
"I found counselling with you to be really beneficial. The sessions helped me to reflect on how I was feeling, what was going well in my life and what wasn't.
Preparing for them gave me really useful 'me' time, to stop and reflect. ".
Testimonial
"The sessions themselves were brilliant, as you listened and reflected back to me, asked questions that made me think. For example, having something with me to help me feel calmer in potentially stressful situations. Talking to you as a I was becoming aware of my autistic traits was enormously helpful ".
Testimonial
"The counselling I had with you really helped to kickstart my recovery by allowing me to open up on subjects that I’ve found tricky to go into too deep with friends and family, a weight really lifted from me quite quickly and I started to feel clarity almost straightaway.
Having your experienced ear and your kind wise words really helped me to build mental strength and I’m now in a place where I feel again that nothing can take me down"!
Location & Online Access
I offer face-to-face sessions from the Wetmore Clinic, a peaceful countryside practice located in Onibury, just outside Ludlow, Shropshire. The space is private, quiet, and designed to help you feel at ease.
There is on-site parking available, and I’m based on the lower ground floor. The building has wheelchair access, but please let me know ahead of booking if you require any additional support so I can ensure an appropriate room is available and make any necessary arrangements.
If you're based further afield — or simply prefer the comfort of your own space — I also offer online sessions across the UK via a secure video platform. All you need is a confidential space such as a bedroom, office, or stationary vehicle where you can speak freely without interruption
