Francesca Hemery , NCPS

Francesca Hemery is an accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict and parenting challenges. She works with both teenagers and adults and has experience with neurodiverse clients, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s individual needs and circumstances.

Francesca practises from a person-centred perspective that prioritises empathy, respect and sensitivity, while also integrating cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques when they are helpful. This blend of approaches allows her to focus on building understanding and self-awareness while also offering practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood or panic.

Clients can expect a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which Francesca adapts the pace and methods to suit personal goals - whether that involves improving self-esteem, navigating grief, managing anger, addressing attachment or body image concerns, or coping with life changes such as separation or workplace stress. She holds NCPS accreditation, which denotes a recognised professional counselling qualification in the UK.

Please note that the majority of her sessions are offered in the evenings or at weekends, reflecting her focus on accessibility for people with daytime commitments.

Person-centred and CBT approaches for online support

Francesca integrates person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural therapy to offer practical and empathetic online support. Person-centred therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where clients are listened to with empathy and respect - it helps people explore feelings, clarify values and build self-understanding. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and developing practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood, panic and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francesca collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These options make it easier to access consistent therapy during evenings or weekends and allow clients to engage in a way that feels most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists who aim to support practical, meaningful change.
