About Francesca
Francesca Di Genova uses a blend of client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people who are feeling overwhelmed. She creates a calm, respectful space where worries can be talked through without judgement. Francesca speaks English and Italian and works from the United Kingdom.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Francesca focuses on stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and intimacy-related issues. Additional areas of attention include panic attacks, social anxiety, avoidant personality patterns and feelings of emptiness. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
Sessions look at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together, and apply practical steps to ease distress. She also values the relationship in therapy and gives space to building trust over time. With eight years of experience, Francesca has worked with a range of concerns that affect day-to-day life.
She can help people manage sleep problems, anger, career worries, and compassion fatigue. Where attention to specific behaviours or thinking patterns is useful, she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Fees vary with location and a subscription system is used, which can be cancelled at any time.

How Francesca works online
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT offers practical ways to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and sleep problems.
Working out the right blend of these approaches is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and making it easier to keep regular appointments. The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking, as options are set by the therapist and the service. Many people find online sessions help them sustain momentum between appointments and apply techniques in everyday life.
