Francesca Hemery is a counsellor accredited in the UK with three years of professional experience. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. Francesca aims to make the first step easier by listening without judgement and tailoring conversations to each person’s needs.

Francesca uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's perspective at the heart of sessions. She also draws on elements of cognitive behavioural approaches to help break unhelpful thinking patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps you can try between appointments. She has experience supporting adults and young people, and has worked with neurodiverse clients. Francesca pays attention to how family dynamics, parenting strains and workplace pressures affect day-to-day life.

She also addresses concerns such as body image, social anxiety, panic attacks and feelings of isolation. Appointments are mostly offered in evenings and at weekends to fit around busy schedules. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different preferences.

Francesca works with each client to agree goals and practical strategies that feel achievable. People come to Francesca for help with coping during life changes, improving self-esteem, reducing panic or rebuilding after separation. Her approach keeps things simple and focused on what will make a difference in your daily life.

How Francesca adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Francesca blends a person-centred approach with cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred counselling focuses on being heard and understood so clients can find their own answers; it helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through feelings and values. Cognitive behavioural methods look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offer straightforward tools to manage anxiety, panic and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Francesca collaborates with each client to identify needs, set goals and try methods that fit their situation. She will adjust the mix of person-centred listening and practical CBT tools as progress and preferences become clear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, parenting and other commitments.
