About Francesca Harland-Davis
Francesca Harland-Davis brings humour, warmth, and straightforward honesty to the therapy room, believing that real healing begins when someone feels genuinely seen rather than judged. She focuses on supporting neurodivergent and disabled people who often navigate a world that does not accommodate their needs, and she understands the exhaustion that comes from masking, burnout, and feeling simultaneously "too much" and "not enough." In her work, clients are not required to explain why their brains work the way they do - Francesca already understands and adapts the therapeutic space accordingly.
Sessions begin with a simple check-in about the week—what has felt overwhelming, frustrating, or even hopeful—and move into whatever is most present for the client, whether that is difficulty with focus, relationship challenges, burnout, or questions of identity and purpose. She prioritises practical, tailored strategies over one-size-fits-all techniques, breaking tasks into manageable steps, using creative problem-solving, and exploring patterns that may be keeping someone stuck.
Francesca validates lived experience and works to help people unlearn shame around being themselves, while building tools to manage overwhelm, set boundaries, and navigate environments that can be unaccommodating. She adapts between structured work and free-flowing processing to suit each person’s needs. Francesca holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and is based in the United Kingdom. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Evidence-based support delivered online for neurodiversity and everyday challenges
Francesca uses practical, evidence-informed techniques that match the way a client’s brain prefers to work. One approach focuses on breaking tasks into small, manageable steps and using creative problem-solving to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning - this helps when burnout, focus difficulties, or chronic stress are getting in the way of living well. Another strand of her work explores recurring patterns and behaviours to understand what keeps someone stuck; this reflective work supports shifts in relationships, self-image, and coping habits. A third element centres on building concrete skills for setting boundaries, managing intense emotions, and navigating environments that may not be accommodating.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Francesca frames that as collaborative work. She and the client will experiment and adapt strategies based on needs, goals, and personal preferences so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a predetermined model.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility, making it easier to access regular support from different locations and at varied times. These options allow clients to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable, which can be especially helpful for people who find in-person settings challenging or who need more adaptable scheduling.
