I'M DR FRANCES BROWN
I understand that if you, or someone you care about, experiences psychological difficulties, it can be really overwhelming. My aim is to to support people to better understand their difficulties and develop strategies to manage their emotions though evidence based therapy. I believe that building strong relationships with others is important for us all, and I focus on creating a trusting and compassionate space to achieve this.
I offer zoom appointments on Tuesdays and face to face appointments in my city centre office on Wednesday afternoons.
