More about Francesca

  • 3 years' experience
  • Non-binary
  • BACP

My experience in therapy means I have sat where you are, and now as a practitioner, I understand how daunting the process can be to ask for help. Often we seek out therapy when we feel we are on the edge, and hopefully, we can build up a relationship to help foster your growth and independence. Therapy should be non-judgmental, and as such, I pride myself on being able to support you as I would hope someone would support me while I am in need.

I hold a master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am accrediated by the BACP with over 10 years experience in supporting individuals across various capacities. My expertise spans mental health, relationships, victims of crime (including domestic and sexual violence), and personal development, with a specialisation in building trusting relationships with clients from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Grounded in person-centred theory, I use evidence-based practice to deliver tailored interventions to promote holistic well-being and independence.

My professional journey includes roles such as a Children's Support Worker, Therapist, and various practitioner positions focused on mental health, homelessness, and domestic violence support. These roles have equipped me with the skills to provide effective support to vulnerable populations, including unaccompanied asylum seeker children and British young people, addressing their mental health needs and promoting their independence with compassion and professionalism. I have vast experience in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and people with disabilities.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
