Hello, I’m Fran and I offer short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are having difficulties.

 If you are struggling with stress, anxiety and depression or feeling lonely or scared and confused, if you’re struggling to manage feelings and emotions,  or if someone close has passed away, it might help to talk to someone who will understand how you are feeling, and who will listen to you without judgement.

If your relationship with your partner is going through a difficult time, I can support you as a couple.

I offer face-to-face and online consultations. Please ring or text me on 07522 109106, or if you prefer you can email me at franruddy@btinternet.com.

I work with individual people and couples from my therapy room, and can offer you a warm, empathetic and confidential space where you can talk freely about your experiences and current difficulties.

My fees are £65 for an individual and £80 for a couple.

Specialising in every kind of abuse and all sorts of trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), I also have considerable experience in working with a range of difficulties, including difficult childhood experiences,  loss, anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, low self-esteem and confidence, anger issues, addictions and relationship problems.

I have a Diploma in Psychotherapy which helps me to understand why you may feel or behave in a certain way and which may be holding you back and causing upset and confusion in your life and affecting you and others around you. Through talking together, I can help you understand your thoughts and feelings, and together we can move towards a happier, healthier you.

I offer a safe and warm environment in my therapy room. 

We can talk over whatever it is that has brought you to therapy and I shall listen to you with kindness, compassion and great attention.

I understand that it can feel a bit overwhelming to talk to a stranger and I shall do my utmost to help you feel comfortable with me.
