More about Francesca
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am an experienced London based MBACP and MBUKCP (Acc) psychotherapist whose personal life journey and professional development are rooted in experience and understanding of the world and the self within it. I am lucky to have assimilated a rich tapestry of international experience, having lived in many countries and being multilingual. This has deepened my understanding of diverse cultures and the unique challenges that come with integrating new values into one’s identity. It also allows me to approach therapy with openness and sensitivity to the intricacies of intersectionality and personal growth.
My integrative approach combines elements of several therapeutic modalities, which allows me to tailor my work to meet the specific needs of each client. I look forward to connecting.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
