Welcome to Fran Mayer Counselling
Supporting you through challenging times — and helping you feel confident again
BACP counsellor offering counselling in Ludlow, Shropshire and online. Support for anxiety, ADHD traits, relationships and self-esteem.
How Counselling Can Help
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck? Perhaps you feel affected by past experiences or you're struggling with confidence or identity?
Counselling can provide a calm and confidential space to explore these experiences at your own pace.
Would you like to:
- Feel more confident and calm in yourself?
- Understand why you react the way you do?
- Find new ways to manage overwhelm and self-criticism?
- Stop feeling like you have to hold everything together alone?
Counselling offers you the space to slow down and process what has been happening for you. It is a collaborative process that supports you in finding your own way forward — at your pace, in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.
I’m Fran, a therapeutic counsellor based in Ludlow, Shropshire, offering face-to-face counselling locally and online therapy across the UK. I support adults (18+) who are feeling anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed, helping them to make sense of their experiences and feel more connected to who they are.
My background includes roles within mental health services, including supporting individuals in a secure prison unit, which first sparked my fascination with what shapes people’s lives and experiences. I have always been drawn to supporting others, and counselling felt like a natural path for me.
I work in a warm, collaborative and down-to-earth way. I won’t judge or try to ‘fix’ you, but I will listen with care, help you make sense of what’s happening, and support you in finding your own way forward. I see the therapeutic relationship as central to growth and healing. Therapy doesn’t need to feel clinical — it can be human, supportive, and even include moments of humour and warmth where appropriate.
Testimonial
"I am exploring an ADHD diagnosis and I found Fran's knowledge, insight and resources very helpful. I feel like I have gained more understanding of my challenges, which may be connected to undiagnosed ADHD, and have gained more compassion for myself."
Testimonial
"Fran is genuinely warm and compassionate and her approach is welcoming and human.
She was a very dynamic practitioner who was able to adjust her approach depending on my emotional state and needs on the day. When I was exploring traumatic events and big emotions Fran was able to safely hold the space for me. On other occasions I would come with more practical needs and she was able to provide focussed knowledge, information and resources for me.
I have moved forward with some topics that I have been grappling with for decades. I highly recommend Fran!"
Testimonial
"I found it really helpful that Fran was alongside me during a very difficult transition, due to deteriorating health, leading to medical retirement.
Fran supported me hearing my feelings and difficulties I was going through coming to terms of my long term ill health and also losing my career re not being well enough to continue, she supported me through an emotionally traumatic time.
Fran was so helpful and supportive and went out of her way by also signposting tools for outside the therapy sessions I could use."
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
