About Francesca
She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the person rather than labels. Sessions are a space to talk through what matters most to the client, at a pace that feels manageable. Francesca emphasises a non-judgemental atmosphere to help people make sense of strong emotions and difficult choices.
Her background includes work in the NHS supporting physical and emotional rehabilitation for people after stroke and other neurological conditions. She has experience supporting people through bereavement and those affected by life-limiting illnesses, including cancer. She also works with clients referred by employer-provided schemes such as BUPA and with oncology-focused services.
Francesca helps people with a range of everyday concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and low self-esteem. She also offers support around issues like attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, body image and fertility-related worries.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, and Francesca aims to put people at ease. She encourages a collaborative pace so clients can begin to untangle feelings, feel more in control and make clearer decisions about next steps.
How Francesca uses person-centred and solution-focused work online
Francesca works in a person-centred way, which means sessions focus on listening and understanding the person's experience. This approach helps when someone needs space to untangle feelings, regain perspective and feel heard.She also draws on solution-focused ideas, which concentrate on small, practical steps and strengths a person already has. That approach suits people who want brief, goal-oriented conversations about improving coping and managing specific problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francesca will talk with each client about what they hope to achieve and try different ways of working until something fits. The process is collaborative and paced around the client's needs, goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people attend from locations that are more convenient, which may make regular appointments easier to keep.
