How Francesca works
Francesca uses client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. That means conversations focus on the person's experience first, while also looking for practical steps that can make life easier. Creative techniques are offered when talking alone does not feel enough.
She is registered with NCPS. Francesca has six years' experience supporting people through loss, life transitions and relationship difficulties. She is a bereavement, grief and loss informed counsellor and brings personal understanding of how grief can affect daily life.
Creative exercises might include images, drawing, collages or guided journalling. These are chosen together and only used if the person is comfortable. The work aims to increase self-awareness, build coping skills and help people make decisions that feel right for them.
Sessions are available in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and booking is arranged according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches and online counselling options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience, listening without judgement and helping people find their own way forward. It is useful for emotional concerns, low self-esteem and processing grief. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and what will be different when things improve, helping with stress, anxiety and goal-focused changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francesca will talk through options and will tailor sessions to the client's needs and preferences. The choice of method is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are good when seeing facial cues matters, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit short check-ins or days when writing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life while keeping the focus on practical, useful change.
