About me

Hello..

I'm Francesca - I work mostly on line but have some capacity for  face to face work . I have an extensive and flexible approach integrating different ways of working and I specialise in CBT and Person Centred. 

Problems I deal with for example: 

  • Anxiety- Stress, panic attacks, worrying too much, overthinking, catastrophising, procrastination.
  • Relationships. 
  • Family issues.
  • Alcohol. 
  • Problems from the past holding you back, or unable to move forwards from. 
  • PTSD after a heart attack 
  • Inner Child Work - healing pain and becoming more confident 
  • Aspergers syndrome
  • Feeling lost- wanting more out of life. 

How long will it take? 

I offer sessions of between 6 - 12 sessions. After our introductory call, we'll agree the number of sessions so you have an idea of how long it will take. 

How I work? 

Our work  provides a flexible, confidential and supportive space where we can explore and work through your situation together. I'm practical and want to help you reach your goals- our sessions will be much more than just talking.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership
