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. Everyone has their own story, so I adapt my approach to your individual needs, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and other humanistic perspectives. We'll work together to find 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 explore what's happening, make sense of your experiences and find a way forward.

Alongside my private practice, I have spent over a decade working across mental health, wellbeing and counselling services, 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, and informs the individual, thoughtful approach I bring to my work.

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.
