About Francesca
Francesca Di Genova is a counsellor who blends client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She offers a calm, respectful space to talk through worries about sleep, anxiety, mood and life changes. Francesca welcomes straightforward conversation and practical steps tailored to each person.
Her way of working focuses on the therapy relationship and on small changes that make daily life easier. She helps people notice the thoughts that shape feelings and actions, and then tries out different ways to respond. This can be useful for panic attacks, persistent worry, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Francesca has eight years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. Areas she commonly helps with include stress, relationships, self-esteem, addictions, grief, anger and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as avoidant personality, emptiness and midlife crisis.
Sessions include a balance of listening and practical exercises. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try behavioural strategies and review what works. The aim is to build skills that help outside the room, including habits that support better rest and sleep.
Francesca practises within the United Kingdom and uses both English and Italian in sessions. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. To begin, people follow an online matching process and schedule sessions according to her availability.
How Francesca uses client-centred and CBT online
Francesca draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas when supporting people remotely. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and building a trustworthy relationship; it helps when someone needs time to feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical strategies to change patterns that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, panic and sleep disruption.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Francesca will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working that suit their situation. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use therapeutic tools at home between sessions, such as sleep routines and brief behavioural experiments that support rest and recovery.
