About Francesca Browning

Francesca Browning is a BACP qualified counsellor (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who practises in a person-centred way, offering a warm and nurturing space where people are listened to without judgement. She believes being genuinely heard helps reduce isolation and supports clearer understanding of difficult feelings and experiences.

Francesca brings experience from working within the NHS, where she supported physical and emotional rehabilitation for stroke survivors and people with neurological impairments. She also has substantial counselling experience supporting those coping with bereavement and people affected by life-limiting illnesses such as cancer. Francesca currently works with BUPA counselling, Macmillan and oncology clients, alongside people seeking help with stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and self-esteem concerns.

Recognising that major life events can feel overwhelming, Francesca offers a non-judgemental, empathic and relaxed environment designed to help clients untangle complex emotions, regain a sense of control and make considered decisions. While change is not always immediately possible, her approach aims to create space for reflection and practical steps forward. She seeks to put people at ease at the start of therapy and to reduce feelings of isolation throughout the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Francesca uses client-centred therapy to create a warm, accepting space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on active listening, empathy and helping people explore their own feelings and values, and it can be particularly helpful for grief, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on identifying strengths and practical steps toward change. This short-term, goal-oriented way of working is useful for managing stress, anxiety and specific life transitions by building on what is already working for the client.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Francesca works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She encourages clients to shape the pace and focus of sessions so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access to support from wherever someone is based. Francesca provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that suits their routine and comfort. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt usual therapeutic techniques to these remote formats to maintain effective, client-led work.
