In person & Online Therapy for Couples and Individuals:
Hello! I'm Fran Brown. I am a skilled, professional therapist, specializing in helping couples and individuals move through blocks in their relationships and lives. Life can deliver experiences that can feel overwhelming. No matter how hard we try, we may not know how to find our way through the impact and get back on track. You can get effective counselling help!
As an individual, are you struggling to overcome depression, anxiety or loss or caught in self-defeating behaviour patterns?
As a couple, do you get stuck in communication patterns that create escalating arguments instead of understanding and acceptance? Are you longing to renew your connection and get close again?
My approach combines a number of evidence-based modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, (EFT), Family Systems Therapy, Gestalt, Rogerian, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, (CBT), Imago, Re-evaluation Counselling and others.
As an experienced counsellor, I want to provide you with the safe, compassionate and non-judgmental environment you need to begin to explore and share what is most important to you. With support, you will be able to take steps to create change. I have helped hundreds of couples and individuals resolve what troubles them and create live and relationships they want to come home to. I would love to meet and work with you too!
