Mrs Fran Hicks

Counselor

“Experienced therapist working with an Integrative approach to best work with individual clients”

About Me

As an experienced counsellor, I offer an integrative approach, meaning our work together is uniquely shaped around you. I believe therapy should be a collaborative space where you feel truly heard and understood. We'll explore what feels most helpful, finding a way forward that genuinely fits your individual needs. This flexible approach is ideal if you seek support tailored to your unique story and pace, helping you make sense of challenges in a way that resonates deeply.

Approach

Conversations focus on what matters most to you, unfolding at a pace you find manageable. Sessions happen in Hereford or online in English, with a gentle mix of focused discussion, practical skills and reflective work tailored between meetings. I pay attention to safety, boundaries and practical steps when trauma, addiction or intense mood arise, helping you make sense of feelings while building day-to-day coping. This approach tends to help people of all ages seeking steady, collaborative support through change.
