In Person Counselling in Bexhill-on-Sea

I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative person-centred counsellor based in Hastings, and I work with individuals and couples. I offer a safe, accepting and compassionate space for you to be completely yourself, where you can experience your emotions without judgement. We can explore what it is that has brought you to counselling at your own pace, and find ways to navigate the difficult times together.

If you’re reading this, I’m guessing things aren’t feeling quite ‘right’ in your life at the moment. Perhaps you’re struggling with some difficult thoughts or feelings. Perhaps you’ve hit a fork in the road and you’re unsure which way to go. Perhaps you’re not really sure what ‘it’ is that needs to change. I believe that opening up and sharing your concerns with someone who is trained to listen and respond to you, is the first step in working through them. While counselling can’t remove the challenging experiences that you're facing, it can help to empower you so you can move through them with strength and purpose.

As a person-centred experiential therapist based in Eastbourne, I deeply respect the challenging journeys people undertake in life. I work in private practice with extensive experience as a Social Prescriber and Recovery Worker in the NHS, passionately supporting individuals facing addictive behaviours, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, isolation, loneliness, bereavement, trauma and CPTSD. Whether you seek support for personal growth, mental health and emotional challenges, addiction recovery, or trauma, I am here to accompany you on your path toward healing, self-discovery and a fulfilling life.

My mission is to empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to overcome challenges and thrive in various aspects of your life, together we will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour, we will focus on understanding your concerns and develop practical strategies for meaningful change. I have a deep and personal understanding of Autism and ADHD and utilize a combination of therapeutic modalities, to meet the specific needs of each individual such as Solution Focused therapy and psycho education to foster understanding, resilience, and positive change.

I am a highly experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Child & Family Psychotherapist with over twenty years experience working with Children, Adolescence (CAMHS), Families and Adult mental well being. My clinical services are based in Hastings and Brighton. I provide psychological clinical services to help with psychological distress such as anxiety, low mood, poor self-esteem, complex trauma and eating disorders. I offer a friendly, flexible and holistic approach, providing a range of therapeutic interventions tailored to the individual's or families' needs.

Hello, I’m Francesca! I warmly welcome you to experience a fresh, flexible and friendly approach to therapy by joining me for in-person, virtual or outdoor counselling sessions from a private farm in the beautiful Sussex countryside. Offering support with all things human, it is my hope that our sessions enable you to embrace a sense of wholeness and peace, the ripples touching every corner of your life. It would be my pleasure to work alongside you to achieve this.

18 years experience as a Psychotherapist. Online Counselling provided for those isolated at home. It’s very normal to need help when life is challenging or distressing. Such upsets might be because of loss, anxiety, depression or maybe due to childhood neglect, abuse or trauma. Some people simply want to learn more about themselves. Whatever the reason, counselling is a way to help you discover more of who you are, your resilience, find strength and determine a successful strategy that works for you.

Are there parts of you that feel unrepresented, hidden, anxious, ashamed, angry, or judged by others? We aren't born feeling this way, have you ever wondered how you got to where you are now? My clients come to me because they trust I can weather the hard places we visit together. We need to be able to talk about the harder things in life, and I would like to offer you the space for this; a space of acceptance, warmth, and goodwill. Let's connect the dots of where you are now, how you got here, and work towards where you'd like to be. Please know that all parts of you are welcome with me. There is hope and there can be healing.

Welcome and thank you for looking at my profile. People come to counselling for for many reasons. I am committed to helping you. Giving opportunity for you to reflect on any difficulties you are experiencing in a confidential space. I will listen with sensitivity, non-judgement and empathy to understand the way you view the world around you. So together we can explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to give you a deeper awareness and understanding of your self and the challenges you are facing. This can give you clarity and confidence to feel empowered and make meaningful decisions and change where you feel necessary.
