Francesca | Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Counsellor

Introduction

I'm a highly experienced psychotherapist offering Online Individual Counselling and Couples Therapy.

The foundation of my practice is listening to you and your needs. My approach is rooted in compassionate enquiry and curiosity. My work is collaborative and rooted in the belief that past experiences shape how we think, feel, and relate in the present—and that by understanding these patterns, meaningful change becomes possible.

Whether you're struggling with a specific concern or a feeling you can't quite name, therapy provides a place to make sense of your experience and find your way forward.

Whether you're facing a current difficulty, carrying something from your past, or feeling anxious about the future, life can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. Perhaps you struggle with relationships, self-esteem, or a sense of dissatisfaction you can't quite name. Maybe there's anxiety, low mood, or patterns you keep repeating despite your best intentions.

Therapy provides a safe, confidential space where you can feel truly heard and supported. While it may initially feel unfamiliar, psychotherapy is essentially a conversation aimed at deepening your understanding of your own experience—helping you make sense of what's happening and find your way toward greater peace and self-acceptance.

Qualifications and registrations

I trained at WPF and Tavistock Relationships, which is internationally renowned for the quality and high standard of its training. I have a BACP-accredited clinical qualification in Couple and Individual Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I am a member of the BACP and the Tavistock Relationships Association for Psychotherapists and Counsellors (TRAPC), and I adhere to their professional codes and ethical guidelines.

I am a relationship specialist but areas of particular interest and recent professional development include women's hormones, cycles and mood - and how these can affect relationship dynamics. I trained with Cruse in working with loss and bereavement. I have also completed training on trauma and ADHD with Dr Gabor Maté.

Specialisations and Expertises

I work with couples and individuals using an integrative approach that draws from contemporary psychodynamic theory, emotionally focused therapy, and attachment-based practices. Our relationships—with partners, with ourselves, and with our past—are shaped by deeper emotional patterns and stories that often operate outside our conscious awareness. My work is about bringing these patterns into the light so they can shift.

At the heart of psychodynamic therapy is the understanding that unconscious parts of ourselves—often shaped by early experiences—continue to influence our present relationships and emotional life in ways we don't always recognise. By bringing these hidden patterns into awareness, they can begin to change, often bringing significant relief and new possibilities for how we relate and feel.

I work with individuals and couples who are navigating relational challenges, emotional difficulties, and the patterns that keep them stuck.

The quality of our relationships profoundly shapes our quality of life—affecting our mental health, physical wellbeing, and sense of ourselves. Past experiences, particularly from our earliest relationships, continue to influence how we connect with others and make sense of our world today.

In our work together, we'll explore the unconscious dynamics, emotional triggers, and unmet needs that shape your relationships and inner life. Whether you're facing a crisis, caught in repeating patterns, seeking deeper connection, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

Most common issues I support people with:

I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship issues, low self-esteem, low mood, and repeating patterns of unhelpful behaviour.
