How Francis works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francis will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs. Together they decide whether to focus on practical skills, emotional processing or a mix of both, and the plan is adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also allow people to work from different locations or time zones; confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy accessible and practical while matching approach and pace to what the person wants.
