Hello my name is Francesca.

I am a qualified person centred counsellor and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I hold professional insurance and work in line with BACP ethical framework, undertake regular supervision and Continued Professional Development and maintain confidentiality with accordance to GDPR and Data Protection.

I believe that individuals deserve an opportunity to reach their full potential, to grow and to change as a human being. Whatever the reason may be to seek counselling; whether for improving your mental health and wellbeing, or as a result of more difficult circumstances in life, I strive to offer a safe, confidential and nurturing environment for you.

I work in a person centred way, which means that I will not judge or direct you or what you chose to bring to therapy. I believe that by being a genuine, empathic and grounding presence for you, you will have a trusted companion on your journey with me in therapy.

I am passionate about supporting my clients to explore their issues, feelings, beliefs, behaviours and worldview, so that they may become more self-aware and achieve a greater sense of self. Therefore we will work at your pace, with what you chose to bring to the therapeutic relationship, you are the expert of your world.

I have worked in therapeutic services since 2017 to support adults, children and young people. I have volunteered with local agencies in the past and currently have my own private practise, as well as lecturing in a local college for various counselling skills courses.
