About Francesca
Francesca Hemery is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and an NCPS credential. She offers a respectful, warm approach for people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, parenting challenges and life changes. She says the first step is often the hardest and aims to make it easier by listening without judgement.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, so conversations and plans are made to fit individual situations rather than a one-size-fits-all script.
Background and approach
Her background is person-centred, which means the relationship and understanding in the room come first. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Together these approaches are used to address grief, anger, low self-esteem and mood changes.
Francesca can support people facing family conflict, parenting strain, workplace stress and questions about life purpose. She also works with issues such as attachment, body image, caregiver stress, panic attacks and social anxiety. Appointments are available mainly in the evenings and at weekends to suit people with busy schedules.
Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches for online counselling
Francesca works from a person-centred foundation, which means she focuses on building understanding and trust first so people feel heard and respected. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to talk through parenting strain, family tension or emotional overwhelm.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns in their thinking and try different, more helpful responses. CBT elements can be useful for managing anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and workplace stress by breaking problems into small, practical steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Francesca will talk through what is helpful, try different methods and adapt sessions to match each person’s goals and preferences so the work fits their life.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy parents and workers. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, while live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around evenings, weekends and other commitments.
