About me and my practice
Hello, my name is Francesca and thank you for visiting my page. I work with people experiencing many different worries including anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem.
I am an integrative counsellor, meaning that I tailor the way I work to fit your needs.
Our sessions are client led, meaning it is your space and time that can be used exploring whatever you wish to bring, working at a pace that is right for you.
I offer a confidential, safe, and non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
I hold the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work together and I approach my work with warmth, honesty and the greatest of care. I create a trusting space, in which you feel supported, valued, and listened to.
Experience
Over the past 6 years, I have been a volunteer counsellor at Mind and Place2be (supporting children from the age of 5-12 years old). I have also been a listening volunteer at Samaritans.
I have experience of working with a range of different problems. These include
Anger

I am also a bereavement, grief and loss informed counsellor, having undergone training to enhance my knowledge of the different types of grief and loss people can experience and how best to support them.
Grief is often associated with the loss of a loved one, whereas grief can apply to every area of our lives. Anything from losing a precious item to a beloved pet.
I have experienced grief and loss myself and understand these effect everyone in different ways. I understand there is no right or wrong way to process a loss and I offer a space to explore yours with you.
