Frankie Johnson

Frankie is an experienced Integrative Psychotherapeutic Practitioner and qualified Couples and Relationship Therapist and registered membership of BACP.  He offers a warm and accepting space where you can explore and better understand yourself and your relationships.

Frankie believes that developing greater self-awareness can help us overcome life’s challenges and achieve a stronger sense of well-being.  Whether working with you individually or as a couple, Frankie is interested in exploring how past experiences and relationships influence the way you think, feel, communicate and relate to others in the present.  In particular, he helps clients understand how relationships with parents, carers, family and peers may have shaped their sense of self and the patterns they carry into adult life.

He has experience of helping individuals with depression, anxiety, low self-worth, identity issues, work-related stress, substance and behavioural addictions, and anger difficulties.  Frankie helps clients explore and better understand the thoughts, feelings and ways of coping that may contribute to these difficulties.

In his work with couples, Frankie brings the same supportive and exploratory approach, helping both partners develop a greater understanding of themselves, each other and the relationship they share.  He helps couples explore patterns of communication, conflict, emotional distance or disconnection, and understand what may be contributing to these patterns.

Having lived and worked within a multicultural environment, Frankie brings empathy and respect to his work with a diverse range of clients, recognising the important roles that relationships, family, culture, cultural identity and life experience can play in how we understand ourselves and relate to others.  Frankie respects individual differences and adapts his approach to the needs of each person and each couple.

Frankie is aware that making these connections can sometimes feel overwhelming, so he allows clients to explore them at a pace that feels manageable and supports meaningful, lasting change.
