Online Counselling from Cambridge — About Francesca
Sometimes what we most need is a space that fits around real life — not an appointment that requires rearranging everything else, but something accessible, flexible, and genuinely supportive. Francesca offers exactly that: online and telephone counselling from Cambridge, available every weekday evening, for adults across the UK.
Francesca is a qualified and experienced integrative counsellor based in Cambridge, offering online and telephone sessions to adults across the UK. She holds a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Alongside her private practice, she works for a reputable mental health organisation — a dual context that gives her a breadth of clinical experience and exposure to a wide range of presentations that private practice alone rarely provides.
Her integrative approach draws on Person-Centred, Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and CBT frameworks, with pluralistic counselling as an additional orienting approach — placing you at the centre of decisions about which methods and directions will be most useful in your therapeutic work.
Background & Experience
Francesca’s experience spans both private practice and organisational mental health work — giving her a depth and range of clinical exposure that informs every session she offers. Her work within a mental health organisation has given her direct experience of complex and varied presentations alongside her private practice work, and keeps her clinical skills current, supervised, and grounded in a broader professional context.
She has clinical experience working with ADHD and autism — both as part of her wider caseload and through engagement with the specific emotional, relational, and identity dimensions that these experiences can involve. This experience informs a thoughtful and adapted approach to sessions where relevant.
Francesca’s evening availability — Monday to Friday — makes her practice particularly accessible for working adults who cannot attend appointments during the day. Online counselling with Francesca is available to anyone across the UK.
Francesca maintains regular professional supervision and is committed to ongoing professional development. She works with individual clients on a private basis and also supports those referred through EAP arrangements and one-off organisational referrals.
Therapeutic Approach
Francesca draws on five therapeutic frameworks, applying each according to what each individual client needs.
Pluralistic Counselling
Pluralistic counselling is an integrative approach that combines techniques and theories from multiple therapeutic models, with a defining feature: it involves you in the process. Rather than the therapist deciding which approach to use, pluralistic counselling invites collaboration — exploring together which methods and directions are most useful for you at each stage of the work. This makes it particularly well suited to clients who have had previous experience of therapy and have a sense of what has or has not been helpful, and to those who value transparency and participation in their own therapeutic process.

Person-Centred Approach
At the heart of Francesca’s practice is a Person-Centred foundation — placing you, your experience, and your pace at the centre of every session. This means unconditional positive regard, genuine empathy, and a non-judgmental presence where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely.

Humanistic Therapy
Humanistic therapy attends to the whole person — not just symptoms or difficulties, but the broader context of meaning, agency, and lived experience. It supports self-awareness and a fuller engagement with the present, and is particularly relevant in work around self-esteem, identity, and personal direction.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences — particularly early relationships and developmental patterns — continue to shape present feelings, behaviours, and ways of relating. Bringing these patterns into awareness, within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, can open up new possibilities for understanding and change.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT provides practical tools for understanding the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — identifying unhelpful patterns and developing more constructive ways of responding. Francesca integrates CBT particularly where clients want structured, practical support alongside the more exploratory dimensions of her work. CBT therapist Cambridge online.
Areas of Focus
Francesca offers online and telephone counselling from Cambridge to adults across the UK. The following are areas she works with regularly and has specific experience in.
Anxiety and stress
If anxiety has been making daily life harder — through persistent worry, panic, obsessive thoughts, health anxiety, phobias, or the weight of chronic stress — online counselling with Francesca can offer a space to understand what is driving it and begin to work with it. Her integrative approach means she can bring both depth and practical tools to this work. Anxiety counsellor Cambridge online and online counselling Cambridgeshire.
Depression and low mood
Persistent low mood, loss of motivation, emotional flatness, or a quiet sense of disconnection — depression counselling online Cambridge with Francesca offers a compassionate, unhurried space to explore what is happening and find a way through.
Trauma and PTSD
Francesca works with individuals navigating trauma and PTSD — including single-incident trauma, relational trauma, and complex trauma. Trauma counselling online from Cambridge, available to adults across the UK, paced carefully and always with close attention to safety and readiness.
Anger management
Anger management counselling online with Francesca explores what lies beneath strong anger responses — the underlying feelings, the patterns, the triggers — and supports the development of a more considered and less reactive relationship with these emotions.
Self-confidence and self-esteem
Low self-worth, chronic self-criticism, and the limiting beliefs that can hold people back from the life they want — self-esteem counselling online Cambridge with Francesca explores the roots of these patterns and supports a more grounded and resilient relationship with yourself.
Relationships and family
Relationship counselling online with Francesca — for individuals navigating relationship difficulties, family conflict, separation, divorce, or the relational patterns that keep creating difficulty. Online relationship counselling Cambridge and Cambridgeshire.
