Francesco Lodi

Hello and a warm welcome to you.  I am a dedicated and qualified counsellor and therapist. I bring a depth of experience and knowledge in both online and in-person therapy. 

I have worked for both the NHS in London and the private sector with adults experiencing a broad range of challenges. 

Perhaps you need help with working through negative thoughts, a lack of motivation or with feeling under pressure,  stressed, insecure, lost, fearful, confused or on the edge. Or maybe you find yourself at a crossroads in life and require some support.

SPECIALIST AREAS

Depression

I have helped adults struggling with depression, including feeling unfocused, demotivated, empty, lost, lonely and numb with no sense of direction. Working together can help you understand your experience, better manage your emotions and cope, empowering you to choose the best direction to take.

Self-confidence/self-esteem

Insecurities and low self-worth can impact our mental health and life in many ways. You may be suffering from social anxiety, fear of being judged negatively by others, issues around work performance, burnout, body image, or perhaps you are simply struggling to love or be comfortable with yourself. Therapy can provide freedom from a critical inner voice, helping you understand what you truly need and the inherent strength we all have.

OTHER AREAS OF COUNSELLING I DEAL WITH 

Relationships

Relationships can face challenges at times and sometimes become confusing. This might result in feeling unheard, misunderstood, trust issues, a yearning for intimacy and feeling vulnerable. Perhaps you are having the same arguments over and over. I can help you navigate difficult feelings within your relationships, allowing you to trust, share with others and experience connections in a more authentic way.

Difficult childhood

It can be hard to put into words how difficult childhoods can affect us. Difficult childhoods can include abuse, bullying, trauma, parental separation or any number of issues. These can result in negative thoughts, a  lack of confidence and vicious cycles that feel like they will never end. I can help you explore how these experiences have impacted you in order to overcome them and move forward. 

HELPING YOU

I will listen to you attentively and with sincerity, offering a quality of attention that will enable us to explore your situation, the effect it is having on you and how you might work through it.

Through attending therapy, you can see your circumstances in a new light, gaining a more profound and stronger awareness of yourself and your relationships with others. This can enable you to realise your potential and discover a more authentic self.

Please get in touch for an initial 50-minute consultation at no cost. During this time, we can discuss your goals for therapy and go through any questions you might have.

I usually hold sessions with my clients at the same time each week (this can be flexible depending on your circumstances).

I am currently offering in-person sessions. Online and telephone appointments are also available.
