Francesca Hemery
Compassionate person-centred counselling with practical tools
About Francesca
Francesca Hemery is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a person-centred style alongside evidence-based techniques. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and parenting challenges. Francesca has three years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential, which she uses as part of her practice identity.
Her sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can use between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioural methods at times to help with patterns of thinking that increase worry or low mood. Francesca has worked with adults on issues that range from self-esteem and body image to workplace pressures and life changes.
She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, attachment concerns and the stress of caregiving. The aim is to build clearer coping strategies and a stronger sense of direction. Evening and weekend appointments are commonly offered to fit busier schedules.
Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. A subscription model is used for bookings and can be cancelled at any time. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and follows the booking steps to schedule according to Francesca’s availability.
This process helps pair needs and preferences before the first session.

How Francesca adapts therapeutic techniques for online care
Francesca uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. This approach means conversations are guided by what the client wants to work on and pacing is set by the individual, which can suit many concerns such as low self-esteem and life purpose.She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Those methods are useful for managing anxiety, panic attacks and mood-related difficulties through practical exercises and short skills work between sessions.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and Francesca will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that fit their needs and goals. Together they will review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the methods used match the outcomes sought.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit quick check-ins, and messaging or live chat can work for shorter reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule around work, study or caregiving commitments and let people keep continuity of care when travel or time is limited.
