About Francesca
Francesca Hemery is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She offers a respectful and compassionate approach and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Francesca adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation.
She mainly runs sessions in the evenings and at weekends to fit around busy schedules. Francesca uses a person-centred approach as her foundation. That means she listens first and follows what matters most to the individual.
How Francesca works
She also draws on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioural strategies when they suit the issue being worked on. She has helped people who are feeling stressed or anxious and those dealing with relationship strain, family tensions and parenting pressures. She also supports people facing grief, anger, career questions and life transitions.
Additional areas of focus include body image, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, loneliness and workplace difficulties. Francesca works with adults and young adults, and she has experience supporting neurodiverse people. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits them.
Her NCPS credential is shown as NCPS. Her style is practical and warm. Conversations aim to identify small, achievable changes and build coping skills over time.
Francesca encourages people to move at their own pace while working toward clearer goals.

Practical approaches for online counselling
Francesca works from a person-centred base which focuses on careful listening and following the concerns the person brings. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop new coping strategies. These techniques can be useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Francesca will discuss what feels useful and try different methods to match your goals and preferences. She takes a collaborative stance so you both decide which techniques to keep or adapt as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions can suit someone with lower bandwidth or who prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging give shorter, more frequent check-ins and can fit around busy days. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare or other commitments.
