Background

Hi, I’m Francesca – though most people call me Fran. I’m an accredited UK counsellor with over three years of professional experience since qualifying. My journey into counselling began after many years supporting inclusion in education, and I’ve since worked with a wide range of clients across different stages of life.

I believe in meeting each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My aim is to offer a space where you feel genuinely supported and heard. Having worked with many individuals who identify as neurodivergent, I understand how important it is to adapt therapy to suit your unique experience and needs. Whether you’re navigating personal changes or looking for greater emotional clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you.

My Approach

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor each session to your individual goals. I often incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help build practical tools alongside emotional insight.

Our work will always centre on you—your pace, your values, and your preferred way of working. I provide a collaborative and non-judgemental environment where we can explore the things that matter most to you. I see therapy as a shared journey, and I am committed to creating a space where you can safely reflect, grow, and move forward.
