You could be fighting with your spouse or partner.

You’re stuck in a cycle of turmoil or trauma, and you can’t find your way out.

The good news, counselling can help…

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 forge a stronger bond with your partner through healing past hurts and developing healthier ways of communicating.

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.

I’ll help you overcome roadblocks to happiness and boost your feelings of self-worth and confidence.

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

B and I are doing great!

We use a lot of the skills you taught us back in 2014/15 to work through challenges as they come up.

We have a little girl now, by far the best thing that has ever happened to us.

– Former Clients

I notice a massive change in our communication. It’s almost like a completely new relationship. No matter how uncomfortable he feels, now he doesn’t run away from it. He prefers to have conversations face to face.

He’s a completely changed person. I never thought a relationship could be at the level we are now – the things we talk about proves to me he is literally willing to do whatever to get us to where we want to be. I go to sleep feeling a lot of relief and happiness – most important, the security. If it wasn’t for you, Fran we wouldn’t be here.

– Former Client

Fran puts you at ease and makes you feel safe right from the beginning. I have seen other therapists and have never had someone be as compassionate or empathetic.

She genuinely listens to your concerns and treats you with integrity and the utmost respect. I genuinely feel cared for when I speak with her and feel nothing but warmth.

She helped me get through a really tough time in my life, fighting severe anxiety and depression. Working with Fran has been a transformative experience for me and I feel honored to have met her in my life.

I get excited to see Fran and feel a sense of relief after talking to her. Always greeted with a warm smile. I highly recommend her service.
