Francesca Medhurst

Welcome to my page!

Please allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Francesca and I am a qualified existential analytic psychotherapist and counsellor.

lol I am still currently operating a predominantly online and telephone based practice with the view of keeping my patients as safe as possible. This also allows for perfect accessibility for those who cannot make it to session in person and means that therapy can continue even if you or I are unwell enough to attend in person. 

I have extensive experience working online prior to the pandemic so you can be assured that this is not new to me and that you are in safe hands regarding the different elements and challenges that online counselling can provide.

In regular circumstances I also work face-to-face and hope to resume this very soon. 

I know how difficult it can be to find yourself on a page such as this from personal experience however, speaking directly from this experience, seeking therapy might just be one of the most beneficial things you could ever do for yourself.

Counselling provides a safe and confidential place in which we can explore problems or issues that might be affecting you, your relationships with others or your life in a wider sense.

My aim is to create a space in which you feel able to confide and trust in our combined ability to examine the areas of your life that you may be unhappy or dissatisfied with and look for solutions to these.

My belief is that the relationship and respect created between us is an invaluable element to the process and progression of your therapy and this is always at the heart of our work together.

As a practitioner I am fully aware that it can be intimidating to take that first step towards counselling, particularly if you are dealing with overpowering and difficult emotions. However, I do wholeheartedly believe that when you make that courageous move towards therapy, you are moving towards a greater understanding of yourself, personal development as well as the improvement and increased success in your relationships as well as healing past and present traumas. 

If you are feeling as though something is getting in the way of your general contentment and success, do not hesitate to get in touch and we can see how we might work together towards a solution for a more positive outcome to these difficulties. 

Aside from the disorders, behavioural difficulties and anxieties listed, I additionally work with clients for whom fear of rejection and abandonment are negatively affecting their relationships.

Another area not mentioned previously is that I work with clients coping with extreme stress, both personal and/ or as a result of a career. This can include but is not limited to redundancy, work politics, feeling overworked/ undervalued and a change in career.

Fees are £70 per session and £100 for initial assessments.

For couple sessions please contact me for further information.

Skype, Zoom, Telephone and E-counselling available.
