Fran Glendining Addictions Therapist Kent – Experience You Can Trust

Fran Glendining Addictions Therapist Kent has been supporting individuals with addiction and mental health challenges since 2015. Her work spans private practice and charitable organisations across Kent. With years of experience in both residential and community-based treatment, Fran brings depth, compassion, and clinical excellence to every client session.

Addictions Therapist Kent – A Client-Centred Approach

Fran believes that addiction rarely exists in isolation. Instead, it often intertwines with trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, or developmental issues. That’s why her approach integrates evidence-based methods with creativity, flexibility, and empathy. By prioritising safety, she ensures clients feel held, heard, and respected.

Creating a Safe Space for Recovery

Shame and stigma too often prevent people from reaching out. Fran understands this deeply and works hard to create a therapeutic environment where clients can explore and heal. Each session is tailored to meet individual goals and emotional needs. Her practice offers space to rebuild trust, self-worth, and personal identity.

Broad Experience in Addiction and Mental Health

Before joining Priory Wellbeing Centre in Canterbury in 2021, Fran supported a national charity in their community rehab centre. She has a strong commitment to therapeutic communities and supports equitable access to care. Her volunteer work with South East and Central Essex MIND and Norfolk & Waveney MIND reflects her dedication to supporting those in need.
