Francesca Sullivan , NCPS

Francesca Sullivan works with people who feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions, helping them find clarity and regain a sense of forward momentum. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore what feels difficult, develop greater self-awareness, and identify practical steps toward change. Her work is client-led, so sessions follow each person’s pace and priorities and focus on what matters most to them.

As an integrative counsellor, Francesca tailors her approach to fit individual needs, drawing on different methods to support anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her practice, offering warmth, honesty, and careful listening to foster trust and emotional safety. Francesca has training in bereavement, grief, and loss and understands that grief can arise from many kinds of losses, from a bereavement to other significant life changes.

Francesca also uses creative counselling techniques to help express thoughts and feelings that can be hard to name. These may include working with images, photos or symbols, painting or drawing, nesting dolls, collages, and creative journaling, all adapted to each client’s comfort and needs. She holds the NCPS credential.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Online Care

Francesca uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's experience, offering empathetic listening and a supportive environment that helps clients explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach is well suited to people coping with grief, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm because it focuses on understanding and personal meaning.

She also employs solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on practical goals and small, achievable changes. This method can be helpful for clients who want to identify strengths, set clear objectives, and track progress through focused conversations and short-term strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Francesca works with clients to assess their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective. The chosen approach will reflect what the client wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and to connect from different locations while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to thoughtful, person-focused support.
