About Francesca

Francesca Sullivan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief or relationship problems. She supports those struggling with low self-esteem, anger, life changes, career worries and intimacy-related concerns. Francesca also works with issues such as family problems, communication difficulties, infidelity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. That means sessions follow what the client brings and move at a pace that feels right.

Background and approach

Francesca also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify small, practical steps that can make a difference between meetings. Francesca has six years' experience and holds the NCPS credential. She offers sessions in English and practises from the United Kingdom.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. In a session people can expect a warm, honest and non-judgemental atmosphere. Francesca says the therapeutic relationship matters most and aims to create a space where clients feel heard and valued.

Creative techniques may be introduced when helpful to express thoughts or feelings that are hard to say. Creative methods used are chosen together and explained first so clients feel comfortable. Practical goals, emotional processing and new ways of relating to difficult experiences are woven into the work.

To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions through the service.

How Francesca’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's unique experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel understood. This approach suits people who need time to make sense of their feelings and gain self-awareness.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that move things forward. It helps people identify what works, set clear goals and try simple steps between sessions. This method is useful when someone wants concrete ways to reduce stress, improve communication or cope with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Francesca will discuss different ways of working and decide collaboratively which methods fit the person's goals and preferences. That shared decision helps tailor sessions to what the client needs most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when looking for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or want ongoing written support between calls. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving or other commitments.
