About Constance
Constance Ffrench is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting concerns. She works with individuals coping with relationship strain, grief, addictions and life changes. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at helping people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Constance draws on eleven years of practical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She combines talking therapy methods so sessions can match what a person needs right now.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around the person’s story rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions she listens for patterns from the past that still affect current choices. That helps when addressing attachment issues, abandonment and family problems.
Constance also uses clear, goal-focused techniques to tackle anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking. Practical concerns like communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency and anger are explored with steps people can test between sessions. She includes discussion of intimacy-related issues, eating concerns and the impact of trauma or domestic violence when these come up.
Constance is comfortable supporting people from different cultural backgrounds and those dealing with loneliness, guilt, shame or questions of life purpose. Her style is calm and conversational, aiming to help people build small, manageable changes over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement. In online sessions this looks like gentle, empathic conversation that helps people name feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online work is good for short, focused tasks such as thought records, activity planning and testing new ways of coping between sessions.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events. Even in remote sessions this can open up useful links between past experiences and current difficulties such as attachment or abandonment issues.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss aims, try different ways of working and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Goals and preferences guide the plan rather than a fixed programme.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need more frequent, lower-intensity contact. Registered and accredited professionals use these options to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life.
