Hello, I'm Francis, a BACP-registered Humanistic Integrative counsellor with over ten years' experience supporting people with their mental health and wellbeing.

I believe therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. Every person brings a unique story, so I adapt my approach to your needs, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and other humanistic perspectives to create a way of working that feels right for you.

My aim is to build a genuine therapeutic relationship where you feel able to speak openly, without fear of judgement or pressure to be anyone other than yourself. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can offer a space to understand what's happening, make sense of your experiences and move towards lasting change.

Alongside my private practice, I have spent more than a decade working in mental health and wellbeing, including five years managing a counselling service for young people entering the creative industries. This has given me extensive experience supporting people through periods of transition, uncertainty and emotional distress.

I offer a free initial zoom call as an opportunity to get to know each other. 

This is an opportunity to share what you would like to get out of counselling.

Starting with a new counsellor can be daunting, I would invite you to bring any questions, queries or concerns to our initial call. Following this you can decide if working together feels like a good fit.
