Francesca is warm, professional and very supportive. She actively listens and has already helped me a lot in our first few sessions. The match based on my initial Better Help questionnaire was just right for me and the tools she has used to identify areas I need help with have been very effective.
More about Francesca
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- NCPS
I am accredited in the UK as a counsellor with over 4 years of professional work experience, I was previously a teacher supporting children with SEND for 35 years. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, family conflicts & parenting issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling life takes courage, I am here to support you in that process. I am an integrative counsellor so can bring in a range of methods such as CBT to best help a client and I am attachment and trauma informed. I have experience in supporting teenagers and adults and in working with neurodivergent clients.
Please note that the majority of my sessions offered are evening or weekend with occasional daytime availability.
Please do be aware that I do have a dog who at times will bark, otherwise I work from home in a fully confidential space. I keep short notes while we are talking to assist me in considering your needs and to help the next session. I expect that you will also be in a confidential space so you can talk freely.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
