About Francesca Sullivan

Francesca Sullivan is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating grief, relationship challenges, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life changes. She works with individuals facing a wide range of concerns including family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy and commitment issues, stress, anger, career worries, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Francesca adapts her approach to each person she meets so that therapy is tailored to the client rather than forcing a single model of care.

Her practice is client-led, which means sessions focus on what the client brings and progress happens at a pace that feels right for them. Francesca places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work and brings warmth, honesty, and careful attention to help people feel heard and valued. She combines talking therapies with creative methods when helpful, inviting tools such as images, photos, symbols, painting, drawing, nesting dolls, collages, and creative journaling to help express feelings that can be hard to put into words.

Francesca has training in bereavement, grief, and loss and recognises that grief can follow many kinds of loss, from the death of a loved one to changes in identity or circumstances. She has personal experience with loss and understands that everyone processes grief differently. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling credential, and offers a compassionate space to explore thoughts and feelings and to work toward understanding and change.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Support Online



Francesca draws on client-centered therapy, which places the person at the heart of the work and prioritises empathy, listening, and acceptance. This approach helps people explore feelings and build self-awareness in a pace that feels comfortable. She also uses solution-focused therapy, a practical method that highlights strengths and small, achievable steps toward change - it is especially useful for clients who want concrete goals and strategies to address current problems.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Francesca will work with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the therapeutic approach fits the person rather than the other way around. Registered professionals often combine elements from different models to best support individual circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family commitments, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Francesca uses these formats to make therapy accessible and adaptable to each client’s daily life.
