Client Testimonials

What clients say about Dove counselling in Plymouth

“Frances provided me with support prior to the death of my daughter and she helped me through the dark days of early grief.  She is such a talented counsellor and her support changed the way I coped in such difficult circumstances.  I have no hesitation in highly recommending her.  She is a very special lady”.

Carolyn

“Frances was extremely helpful at supporting me through a difficult time at work and helped me to keep going and working. She is very professional, insightful and supporting and I would highly recommend her counselling services to others. The best of wishes and thanks for her support.”

Paul

“Frances always brings a warm welcome. I feel listened to and supported during my therapy.  I experience connection with every session. Thank you Frances”.

Andy

“Frances was compassionate and very helpful to me during my counselling.  It felt like I made real progress and was listened to and supported.  She was flexible with time and checked in frequently to ensure she was using a technique I found helpful”.  

Luke

“I have found the support I have received from Frances to be incredibly helpful.  She has a deep understanding of mental health issues and the difficulties these present to individuals. Frances has been patient and kind, understanding and empathetic. At first, I was not sure what to expect and I did not like talking to a stranger over the telephone.  It took me a while to build up a therapeutic relationship with her, but once we got to “know each other” better, I found the sessions extremely helpful and they gave me renewed confidence”.

Debbie

“I have been going to Frances now for 3 years to have counselling and it has changed my life immensely! Frances is very calm and accommodating for all your needs and has the ability to create an environment where you can feel at ease.  She also facilitates sand tray therapy which I think is really unique and not something I had ever seen before – it’s a great tool to access the deeper thoughts/feelings of your mind.  By working with her I feel I’ve been able to explore and express parts of myself without judgement and would highly recommend her to anyone”.

Chelsea

“Frances is the best listener, combining true compassionate attention with the right level of correctly-chosen probing questions, which lead you to the heart of where you couldn’t have got to without her.  A truly safe space to discover what you might not have wanted to admit even to yourself, and feel accepted and cherished as you are.  I come away feeling optimistic, having developed specific ideas to put into action to improve my life”.

Bethany

“Having dealt with Frances on a professional level, I can without doubt say that she is very personable, friendly and makes you feel at ease in her company. If you are looking to engage her professional services, you will without doubt be putting yourself in safe (and friendly) hands”.
