About Francesca

Francesca Browning offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, loss and relationship strain. She works in a person-centred way and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where someone can be heard. Francesca uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of their feelings and decide on next steps.

She has worked in the NHS, supporting stroke and neurological rehabilitation where physical and emotional recovery come together. That background shaped her approach to complex health-related issues, including working with people affected by cancer and other life-limiting illness.

Background and approach

Francesca also has experience supporting bereavement and caregiver stress. Her practice covers a range of common difficulties such as depression, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also responds to concerns about attachment, abandonment, body image, fertility and relationship endings.

Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical ways to cope between meetings. Francesca uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what the person brings to the room, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, realistic goals. She draws on three years of counselling experience and lists BACP on her profile.

People meet with her by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The aim is to help someone feel less alone, identify manageable steps and build confidence to move forward.

How Francesca’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In practice this means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows what is most important to the client, helping them feel heard and understood. This approach can help with grief, low mood, relationship worries and adjusting after health changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, short-term steps that make a noticeable difference. Conversations identify small, realistic goals and build on strengths and past successes. It can be useful when someone wants clear actions for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges or work-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Francesca works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts sessions as those needs change and checks in about goals and progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are good when video is impractical, live chat can be quicker for brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family life, work and medical appointments.
