Happy lesbian coupleYour life is off track. It may feel like it is falling apart.

Your distress may be affecting your work, your sleep, and your relationships.

You could be fighting with your spouse or partner.

You have done whatever you could think of to turn your life around, but it seems to continue to get worse.

The good news is that counselling can help you transform relationship pain into loving connection and create a happier, more fulfilling life.

Heal Your Love Life

Heal Your Love Life

Your relationship is wearing you down. It’s plagued by conflict or distance. Perhaps both.

The love and intimacy you once shared are damaged. You worry you may not be able to get it back.

One or both of you may be asking yourselves, “Should I stay or should I go?”

I’ll help you reconnect with your partner as you heal past hurts, develop more effective communication patterns and rekindle the intimacy that may have faded.

Couples Counselling

Heal Yourself

Heal Yourself

Your life is not going well. You’re unhappy, depressed or anxious.

You’ve lost your joy – a sense of meaning and purpose. Perhaps you worry a lot – you imagine the worst will happen.

You may be sad or numb and helpless about how to get over your problems. It’s discouraging.

At our first meeting, I’ll invite you to tell me about your struggles and hopes. I’ll help you increase feelings of self-worth and confidence as you explore and move through roadblocks to living the happier life you want.

Individual Counselling

Hi, I’m Frances Brown

Frances Brown
Couples and Individual Therapist in
North Vancouver and West Vancouver, BC

Hi, I’m Frances Brown.

I’m a professional therapist with a wealth of experience working with couples, individuals and groups of diverse ages and backgrounds.

For over 10 years, I have specialized in the most successful and fastest growing approach to couples and marriage counselling available, EFT – Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. Endorsed by the American Psychological Association as scientifically proven, studies indicate that an amazing 86 to 90% of couples completing this relatively short-term approach report feeling happier in their relationship with lasting results! My professional experience with couple and marriage counselling echoes this study.

With my counselling support, the communication patterns that keep you stuck and hurting can transform into new ways to communicate that draw you closer, strengthening the bond between you as understanding and trust grow.

I am caring, non-judgemental and experienced and want to ensure that you feel profoundly safe to let down your guard and share your most important concerns with me.

I love my work and feel passionate about helping my clients move through pain and conflict
to a life of more joyful relationships and happier lives.

If you are considering therapy, I encourage you to take the first step in creating the life and relationships you truly want and deserve. The results are likely to be highly rewardingly and one of the best decisions you’ve ever made!

Strong Testimonial

Warm, comforting, empathetic, patient

I’ve seen different therapists with different approaches throughout my life, and Fran takes the cake. She’s warm and comforting, empathetic and patient. She creates a safe space in which she asks questions that take us into the heart of the matter. My husband and I hit a very painful and scary fork in the road, and without Fran, we wouldn’t have made it. With Fran and a lot of hard work, we not only made it, we’re thriving. Fran gave us the tools to be able to pull from the same side of the rope and create a beautiful life to enjoy together. Both my husband and I think very often in life, “what would Fran do?” Thank you Fran!!

Frances completely changed our lives

Our sessions with Frances completely changed our lives. We had been separated and living apart for more than a year when we started our sessions. After about 3 months we decided to give our relationship another chance. Through our work with Frances we realized that we were on the same team and still loved each other very much. Our work with Frances not only changed our lives for the better but the lives of our two young children. We are all living under one roof again and are cherishing every moment we have together as a family. I cannot express how grateful we are for you and the work that you do, Frances. Thank you from all of us!

Helped me overcome obstacles

I worked with Frances for the past 6 months during a very challenging time in my life. Frances is a person of integrity. She is very professional and thoughtful in her approach to counselling. She listened to my issues intently, with compassion and without judgement. Frances really helped me look at myself through a different lens that helped me overcome obstacles which I have been struggling with for some time. I am extremely grateful to her for her professionalism and healing support. I would not hesitate to work with Frances in the future, and highly recommend her services to anyone struggling with life’s issues.
