Fran’s own lived experiences led her to search for alternative ways of understanding trauma and healing. When she discovered Havening, she realised the endless possibilities and hope Havening has to offer.
Fran has worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a variety of presenting issues, childhood trauma, domestic abuse, assault, miscarriage trauma, and many other traumatic events and experiences which have left life-altering consequences. Distressing memories, emotions, and phobias. Chronic stress, workplace stress, and post-traumatic stress, to name but a few.
She has delivered numerous introductions to Havening including tailored and collaborative introductions such as - Introducing Havening: a therapeutic approach to the long term mind-body effects of childhood trauma and the effectiveness for those at risk/in the care system. Fran has shared self-havening with various groups including those who’ve experienced different adverse childhood experiences, women in recovery, and nursing students for workplacement stress and building resilience.
Aside from Havening, some of Fran's contributions include many years of experience in elderly, end of life and palliative care; served as a trustee for the Open Nest — a charity born from personal experiences of adoption and long term fostering of traumatised children; is an independent panel member for an adoption panel; and co-founder of the Transracial Adult Adoptee Network (TAAN).
Additionally, Fran was involved in the early beginnings of Tina's Haven—a catalyst for emancipatory praxis, rooted in nature, creativity, and collective healing for women separated from their children due to trauma-based addictions. She also wrote the foreword for the powerful anthology ‘It’s Not Symptomatic, It’s Systemic’ from Sunday Mornings at the River, that unravels the intricate layers of trauma, resilience, and the systemic forces that shape our lives.
Fran works one to one, in person in Bromley and online worldwide. She welcomes contact to discuss sessions, or to discuss introductions to Havening, self-Havening workshops, or training opportunities.
