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
"The changes I have noticed are profound. I understand much more about how past events shaped my reactions and behaviours, and I approach life now with a calmer, more compassionate, and more self aware mindset. The changes are not just in my thinking; they affect how I feel, how I act, and how I relate to the world around me. Therapy did not just help me through one situation; it gave me tools and understanding that continue to shape my life in such positive ways".
Testimonial
"Last year I felt like I was drifting and waiting for my 'bus' to come along. This year am still waiting for my 'bus' but have some ideas of destinations, last year I didn't know what destination to go in.
I think the main thing that stood out was you trying to keep me on track and being positive about doing things I can do for myself that are within my control".
Testimonial
"It’s hard to put into words how the work I did with you connected with me & my needs at the time and still appreciate.
Our first meeting still sticks with me- I was a mess and couldn’t control my feelings of failure and complete despair, you made it feel ok to talk out loud to talk about my sadness my loneliness.
I really miss our talks and you’ve helped me accept that I can get up and tackle my demons".
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
