No matter which of the above applies to you, I have created tailor made programmes of support that can help you or your child:

The first step to living the life you want is leaving the life you don’t want. Taking the first step forward is always the hardest. But then each step forward gets easier and easier. And each step forward gets you closer and closer until eventually, what had once been invisible starts to be visible. And what once felt impossible starts to feel possible.

Try a new approach to therapy and coaching

Frances Weston, Counsellor at Brighter Futures Personal Growth

Hello, I’m Frances

My unique approach to my work with clients has been honed over many years of practice, and is rooted in three key elements:

Commitment and consistency – I offer 3, 6 and 12 month programmes of support – no ad hoc appointments or dipping your toes in! * Really going all in with the work guarantees transformational results for you or your child.

Counselling and Coaching – these are different models but there is an area of overlap, a kind of ‘sweet spot’ that offers the best of both worlds and this is where I work. The powerful combination of the two enables you to access everything you need to break free from difficult feelings and unhelpful patterns of behaviour, and move forward with your life in the direction of your dreams.

Conducive conditions – you can either work with me at my beautiful bespoke therapy centre in the peaceful Derbyshire countryside, or from the comfort and safety of your own surroundings, anywhere in the world. Either guarantees you’ll feel relaxed, comfortable and in the best place to gain maximum benefits from your sessions.

Her Questioning Approach Really Helped Me
I have been a client of Frances for many months and she has supported me in achieving my goals whilst setting up my own training and development business. Her questioning approach really helped me to reflect on my thoughts and to formulate realistic plans to achieve short term goals en-route to my long term aspiration of having my own successful company. She has particularly helped me to focus on what I have achieved when my focus has been on what I haven’t, and by getting me to reflect on what I have been like when performing at my best she has enhanced my self confidence in developing and discussing my business offering. I have found her to be a gentle challenger, and thoughtful listener and an empathetic coach who has been a great help to me.
Gave Me Ways to Deal with Overwhelming Emotions
I was sceptical about how Frances could help me, but I really needed someone who was unbiased and being new to the area there was no one I felt I could open up to. Frances was so experienced and this allowed me to trust her. She reassured me that my feelings were normal and gave me ways of dealing with the overwhelming emotion, which certainly helped. Silly as it sounds, at the end of the roller coaster having a pat on the back from Frances for coming through it, especially remembering the way I felt at the beginning, gave me hope and made me realise I could get through it. Thank you!
I Am Learning More About Myself All the Time!
During the time I have been seeing Frances I have always found her to be completely professional and approachable. From the very first session she managed to make me feel at ease and made the whole idea of therapy a little less scary. I trust Frances completely and know that whatever we discuss remains confidential and know from her background in counselling that she has bags of experience therefore I have a lot of faith in her vast knowledge. I am learning more about myself all the time, and would highly recommend her. Thank you Frances.
We now have a happy child again
My Husband and I contacted Frances after our young Daughter developed PTSD symptoms. Frances is so lovely and kind, caring and compassionate. Our Daughter would look forward to her sessions with Frances (and Bertha, the dog). We now have a happy child again and we will forever be grateful.

After Just A Few Sessions I Was Ready to Manage My Life Alone Again
Frances gave me ideas for new ways to look at my problems, and offered practical suggestions, without ever making me feel that she was telling me what to do. I appreciated her common-sense clarity: ‘What do you want to change?’ ‘Right, let’s work out how you can do that.’ I felt thoroughly supported and yet always in control of my own destiny. After just a few sessions I was ready to manage my life alone again – but I find it comforting to know that Frances is there, and that I can go back if I feel the need.
She Has Given Me The Knowledge To Remain Level Headed
Frances made me feel very welcome and I immediately felt very comfortable. She was extremely professional and has helped me get through my problems and has given me the knowledge to remain level headed. She is a wonderful person who will listen and acknowledge any issues you may have. I highly recommend Frances and would definitely see her again if I had any more problems!
THE NUMBER AND SEVERITY OF HIS MELTDOWNS HAVE DECREASED
We have really noticed a huge difference in the way our son is able to cope and manage his emotions now. The number and severity of his meltdowns have decreased and he is able to talk about his emotions and feelings now.

Potential programme clients are always offered a free 30 minute telephone consultation with me, which can be booked by clicking the button below. It’s called a Clarity Call, and it is a chance for you to tell me more about yourself – or your child – and your situation, and it enables me to get a sense of you, or your child, what your needs are and how I can serve you best. If we feel like a good fit, I can explain more about the programmes I offer and you can ask me any questions you may have.
