Francesca Marjoram

Welcome

Hello, and welcome.  I am Francesca, a well-qualified, experienced and professional psychotherapist supporting individuals to work through feelings of anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger, grief and loss. Since you are reading this page, I imagine you would like some aspects of your life to be different and wondering if I - or therapy - can help you.  We come to therapy for a myriad of reasons, perhaps you struggling to like yourself or coming to terms with a trauma or loss and looking to process your experience and see a way forward. Maybe you are struggling with overwhelming feelings of anxiety or depression.

I run Talk for Change Therapy from welcoming premises in Princes Risborough, and High Wycombe supporting adults, and young people from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of issues.   I work as a humanistic integrative psychotherapist and believe that you are the best person to know what you need to live well and work to support you to determine this.   I have supported clients with presenting issues including depression, anxiety, loss and grief, childhood trauma, sexual violence, chronic pain, and domestic violence. I have worked with adults and children with autistic spectrum disorders, and A.D.H.D.

Recent client feedback offered to me was written as “Having never experienced any form of counselling before, I was fairly apprehensive about it, but within seconds, Francesca made me feel comfortable and created an environment where I was able to open up and be myself.

I also felt I’d known Francesca for a long time; her ability to listen to every detail of what I said meant I felt heard and understood throughout the six weeks. I came away feeling more confident and a lot more reassured.

It’s great knowing that I can call on Francesca again if I feel the need to reconnect. “ Client SG (with kind permission to share).

I am passionate about improving the mental health and well being of my clients. Research evidences that for many people with common mental health problems, talking therapies are proven to be as effective as medicines. They create long-lasting positive changes so you not only feel better but stay better.  

Through psychotherapy I listen without judgement and confidentially to whatever you decide to bring.  I support you to make sense of yourself and your experiences and, together with your thoughts and emotions, explore options and choices for changes you may want.  I will greet you with empathy, congruence and compassion for your journey.
