Francesca Manzi brings over 20 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom to her counselling practice. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Francesca works with people facing grief, depression, stress and anxiety, and she supports those coping with long-term health conditions and chronic pain.
Her background includes roles in nursing, midwifery and foster care before she trained as a counsellor. That earlier work shaped a practical, down-to-earth style.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on simple steps people can try between meetings. Francesca has a particular interest in helping adult children of emotionally immature parents and people recovering from narcissistic abuse. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, self-esteem issues and difficult family dynamics linked to family of origin concerns.
She offers counselling relevant to serious illness and end-of-life matters, including hospice and bereavement situations. Francesca aims to help people talk through practical ways to manage pain, illness and the emotional strain that comes with major health challenges. People can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with clear suggestions.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor work to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and Francesca accepts international clients.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Francesca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One commonly used approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety; it is useful for everyday worries and low mood. Another approach emphasises processing grief and loss through paced conversation and memory work to help people find ways to live with change and bereavement.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the person’s goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist make those choices collaboratively, adapting pace and techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and health needs while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional recovery.
