Francesca Sullivan , NCPS

Francesca Sullivan is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, career worries and depression. Francesca works in a warm and listening way so people feel heard and understood.

Francesca uses a client-led approach. Sessions follow what the person brings and move at a pace that feels right for them. She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work and aims to create a trusting, non-judgemental space.

She practises with an integrative style and draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to match each person's needs. That means sessions can include open conversation alongside practical steps and short-term goals when those are helpful.

Francesca has six years of experience and holds the credential NCPS. She has undertaken additional training in bereavement, grief and loss and brings that understanding to work with many kinds of loss, both large and small.

Creative methods are available when talking is hard. These might include working with images or photos, painting or drawing, collages, creative journaling, or simple objects such as nesting dolls. Francesca will always check you are comfortable before using any creative technique.

Sessions are offered in English and Francesca practises from the United Kingdom. Online formats are available so people can choose the way that fits their life.

Approaches in online counselling and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a respectful, non-judgemental presence and follows the person's lead to help them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for people facing grief, low self-esteem, or emotional overwhelm.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions look at what is already working and build on strengths to make change happen more quickly. It suits people wanting help with specific problems like communication issues, career decisions, or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Francesca will work with each person to decide whether a listening-led approach, a goal-driven path, creative techniques, or a mix suits their needs and preferences. The plan can be reviewed and changed as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection without scheduled calls. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or busy days and make it easier to continue momentum between sessions.
