Francesca Sullivan, NCPS

Francesca Sullivan is a counsellor who supports people navigating overwhelming feelings and life changes. She recognises how hard it can be to make sense of thoughts and emotions when experiences feel like they are holding you back from living fully. Francesca offers a therapeutic space designed for exploration and understanding, where emotions can be attended to and self-awareness can grow.

She has worked with individuals facing a range of concerns, including anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem, and adopts an integrative approach so her way of working is tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions are client-led, meaning the client decides what to bring and the pace of work, while Francesca listens with warmth, honesty, and thoughtful care. She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work, creating a trusting atmosphere in which people feel supported and heard.

Francesca is trained in bereavement, grief, and loss and understands that grief can follow many kinds of loss beyond the death of a loved one. She brings personal and professional insight to this area, offering a space to explore individual responses to loss. She also uses creative counselling techniques alongside talking therapy, introducing methods such as working with images, painting and drawing, nesting dolls, collages, and creative journaling when these feel helpful and appropriate.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Support Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive space where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps people gain insight, build self-awareness, and work through emotions at their own pace, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, or relationship difficulties.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and small, achievable changes that move a person toward their goals. It is goal-oriented and often helpful for clients seeking clear strategies to manage stress, anxiety, decision-making, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Francesca will work collaboratively with each person to determine whether a client-led stance, solution-focused techniques, or a blend of methods best suits their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and access support from different locations within the United Kingdom. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing registered professionals and therapists to adapt sessions to what works best for each individual.
