About Francesca

Francesca Sullivan is a counsellor who supports people when life feels overwhelming and emotions are hard to understand. She offers a calm, client-led space where individuals can explore thoughts, process feelings, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that suits them.

Francesca works in an integrative way, tailoring her methods to fit each person she meets rather than using a fixed approach. She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her practice, bringing warmth, honesty, and careful attention to help clients feel listened to, valued, and supported.

With specialised training in bereavement, grief, and loss, Francesca understands that grief can arise from many kinds of loss and that there is no single correct way to grieve. She draws on that training and on her own lived experience of loss to offer sensitive, informed support for people navigating bereavement and related challenges.

Francesca also uses creative counselling techniques to help express thoughts and feelings that can be hard to put into words. She works collaboratively to choose suitable activities, which can include working with images or photos, painting or drawing, nesting dolls, collages, and creative journaling, always ensuring clients are comfortable with the chosen methods.

She holds the NCPS credential, indicating registration with a professional body, and her sessions are led by the client so that people can bring whatever matters to them most. Francesca aims to help clients increase self-awareness, gain understanding, and make changes that feel right for their lives.

Client-centered and solution-focused support online

Client-Centered Therapy is a warm, non-directive approach that prioritises the client’s experience. Francesca listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people explore their feelings and values so they can make choices that feel authentic. This approach can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and the client’s strengths. Rather than dwelling on problems, Francesca helps clients identify goals and small, manageable changes that build momentum. This method often suits people facing stress, anxiety, life transitions, or situational difficulties where clear, short-term goals are useful.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Francesca works collaboratively to determine what fits best. She discusses options with clients, adapts techniques to individual needs, and revisits the plan as goals and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Francesca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or work, reduce travel time, and allow sessions to continue through life changes. Francesca tailors online work in the same client-led, respectful manner as face-to-face therapy so people can engage in a way that suits them best.
