Francesca Palazzolo

Francesca Palazzolo is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and sleep problems. She greets each person with a calm, non-judgemental approach and encourages small steps toward feeling steadier. Francesca acknowledges how hard it can be to start therapy and aims to make the first conversation straightforward and warm.

She draws on ten years of clinical experience and works with people to identify what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals rather than lengthy theory. Francesca uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance-based methods to help shift unhelpful patterns and build more helpful habits.

Attachment-focused ideas guide her work when relationships and early patterns are relevant. She listens for how past connections shape current difficulties and helps people try different ways of relating. A client-centred stance keeps the person’s values and preferences at the centre of each session.

Francesca often blends techniques from dialectical behaviour approaches when emotion regulation or strong distress is present. She aims to teach skills that people can use between sessions for calmer sleep, steadier mood and clearer decision making. Her style is direct, compassionate and practical.

Francesca holds PACFA credentials in Australia and works in English. She supports people facing grief, body image concerns, addiction, eating issues and a broad range of life changes. If you are unsure whether her approach fits, a short initial conversation can help clarify next steps.
