About Francesca
Francesca Sullivan is a counsellor who helps people when life feels overwhelming. She works with worries such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief and relationship problems. Francesca aims to give a calm space where someone can be heard and make sense of difficult feelings.
She describes herself as an integrative counsellor and adapts sessions to the needs of the person in front of her. Sessions are client led, so the pace and topics are set by the client.
Background and approach
Francesca places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work and brings warmth and honesty to sessions. Francesca has six years of counselling experience and holds NCPS. She has completed additional bereavement, grief and loss training to deepen her understanding of different kinds of loss.
She also draws on creative counselling techniques when they feel useful. Creative approaches may include working with images, collage, drawing, nesting dolls or creative journaling. Francesca discusses any creative option first and adapts methods to make sure the person is comfortable with them.
People come to her for help with many concerns beyond grief and anxiety, including trauma, anger, communication problems, life changes and feelings of emptiness. Sessions aim to build self-awareness, help process emotions and identify small practical steps that feel right.
Approaches online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting feelings and priorities to help people feel heard and to build self-awareness. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and emotional processing.Solution-Focused Therapy looks at practical steps and small changes. Sessions concentrate on strengths, goals and what is already working, which can help when someone wants clearer direction or quicker progress with particular problems.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Francesca will talk with each person about their needs and goals and test approaches together. She adapts methods over time to match how someone responds and what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging works for ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the therapeutic focus intact.
