Fran is a lovely person and has given me so much support during my time on BetterHelp. She is caring, attentive and so down to earth, which really helped at the beginning when we were building our trust in each other. Fran reaches out to me regularly and always wants to help me address any concerns that I have. Without a doubt she had gone above and beyond what I expected from signing up to BetterHelp and for that I cannot thank her enough. Thank you Fran!!!

You may be experience a time in your life where things feel too much. It maybe difficult to process and understand your thoughts and feelings. You may feel your experiences are holding you back from living and enjoying your life.
Counselling can offer you a space to explore and process your thoughts and feelings. It offers a space where you feel heard, and your feelings validated. Counselling can help gain understanding, improve self-awareness and make positive changes that feel right for you.
Hello, my name is Francesca and I have worked with people experiencing many different worries including anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem.
I am an integrative counsellor, meaning that I tailor the way I work to fit your needs.
Our sessions are client led, meaning it is your space and time that can be used exploring whatever you wish to bring, working at a pace that is right for you.
I offer a confidential, safe, and non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
I hold the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work together, which I approach with warmth, honesty and the greatest of care. I create a trusting space, in which you feel supported, valued, and listened to.
I am a Bereavement, Grief and Loss informed counsellor, having undergone training to enhance my knowledge of the different types of grief and loss people can experience and how best to support them.
Grief is often associated with the loss of a loved one, whereas grief can apply to every area of our lives. Anything from losing a precious item to a beloved pet.
I have experienced grief and loss myself and understand this effects everyone in different ways. I understand there is no right or wrong way to process a loss and I offer a space to explore yours with you.
Creative counselling combines talking therapy with creative techniques. They can offer support to communicate thoughts and feelings you find difficult to put into words.
The creative technique we work with are tailored to support your specific needs. I will explore these with you first to make sure you comfortable using them.
Some of these creative techniques can include:
• Working with images/ photos/ symbols
• Painting/ drawing
• Nesting dolls
• Collages

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very easy to tak to
Francesca is very sensitive and intuitive. She is easy to talk with and I have felt relaxed and able to open up when talking with her. I have only just begun therapy but I feel very positive about the experience I have had so far and confident that she will help me progress.
An understanding and compassionate therapist who is helping me to ask myself questions which in turn is helping me deal with an extremely delicate and difficult family situation
Francesca has been brilliant so far and I am feeling really positive about how my journey to betterment has gone so far. She is very supportive and even over video calls, you can tell that she is fully engaged in what you are telling her.
