Chantal Francis

I am based in Reading and work with clients across the UK and internationally. I am currently open to new clients.

I offer both individual and and couples therapy sessions online via Zoom, making it easy for you to fit therapy into your routine.

I offer 20 minute no fee New Client consultations for those who are curious about starting their therapy journey with me, where I am happy to answer your questions around the therapy I offer.

What if therapy isn't about becoming someone new, but coming back to yourself?

You may have reached a point where something needs to change.

Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, relationships, confidence, self-worth or patterns that seem difficult to break. Perhaps nothing is obviously “wrong”, but you feel disconnected from yourself and aren't sure why.

Sometimes we become so accustomed to coping, achieving, caring for others or simply getting through the day that we lose touch with what we actually feel, need or want.

This is where therapy can begin.

I offer psychotherapy for people who want to understand themselves more deeply and leave therapy still 'You' but with renewed self-trust and confidence.

Together, we can begin to make sense of the patterns, experiences and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. We can explore not only what has happened to you, but how it continues to shape the way you experience yourself, your relationships and your life now.

My approach integrates psychotherapy with somatic practice, bringing attention to both your thoughts and your embodied experience. I believe meaningful change happens when we can understand ourselves with greater compassion and begin to relate to ourselves differently.

You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you need.

You simply need to know that something could be different.

My intention is that, through our work together, you leave not simply with a better understanding of yourself, but feeling more connected to who you are, more able to trust yourself, and freer to live in a way that feels true to you.

If you're wondering whether therapy with me might be right for you, you're welcome to get in touch.

The first therapy session is an opportunity to know more about you. It may be that you have things you want to share with me straight away, and at the same time it might seem daunting to begin talking, I understand this.

We will take things at your pace, and can adapt approaches to meet your needs and circumstances as the process unfolds for you.
