Fran Shelton (she/her) - Integrative Transpersonal Counsellor

I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space for heartfelt conversation.  Whatever brings you to therapy, we will begin where you are, as you are.

My work is integrative, drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic and transpersonal traditions. I also work creatively and from my intuition. 

My approach is holistic, working with the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of being human. I am interested in the deeper stories, relationships and patterns that have shaped you, as well as the present-moment experience of being here together.

Therapy provides an opportunity to slow down and really listen to what lies beneath the surface. I believe we all have within us an innate wisdom and wholeness. In a world full of distraction and noise, we will create a soulful space to listen and reconnect.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. It is stepping into the unknown, and that takes courage. I can offer you my companionship and steadfast presence as we become explorers together.  

I have learnt that even the most difficult feelings can be gateways to deep meaning and transformation.

I am keenly aware of the systems of power and privilege at play in the world and I bring this awareness into working with the ‘personal’ experience of who you are and how you feel.

As a therapist, I am queer affirming, neuro affirming and culturally aware.

I am also a theatre maker and forest school practitioner and I run drama and movement group therapy sessions in nature.
