Mrs Frances Taylor

Clinical Counselors

“A counsellor with 20+ years experience predominately working with individuals and couples to resolve relationship issues.”

About Me

For over two decades, I've supported individuals and couples seeking to understand and strengthen their relationships. When communication feels strained or connections weaken, I provide a calm, collaborative space. We can explore long-held patterns and discover new ways to connect, building towards a more harmonious and respectful partnership. My goal is to help you find practical ways forward, feeling heard and understood.

Approach

Across twenty years helping people and partners resolve relationship challenges, my approach prioritises clear, manageable shifts in everyday patterns. I offer sessions in Brisbane and online in English, keeping the pace steady and collaborative so you feel contained while tackling sensitive material. In-session we use gentle curiosity, practical reflections and short experiments you can try between meetings to ease anxiety, grief or burnout and to reframe stuck interactions. Those seeking grounded, collaborative change — individuals, couples or families — often find this way of working helpful.
