About Francesca
Francesca Browning offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, grief, stress or anxiety. She meets clients with warmth and listens without judgement. Her manner aims to help people feel understood and less alone as they work through difficult feelings.
Francesca is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience. She has worked in physical and emotional rehabilitation with people recovering from stroke and other neurological conditions, and has supported people affected by bereavement and life-limiting illness including cancer.
Background and approach
She also helps those dealing with depression, relationship strain and low self-esteem. In sessions she follows a client-centred way of working, offering a calm, non-judgemental space where the person’s priorities guide the conversation. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help identify small, practical steps that can reduce distress and build coping skills.
Sessions are conversational and grounded in what the client wants to change. Francesca aims to help people untangle strong emotions, regain a sense of control and make clearer decisions when life feels heavy. She pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment issues can shape present patterns, and she works with concerns such as caregiving stress, codependency and body image.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to people in the United Kingdom. Francesca supports clients through different stages of change, from short-term problem solving to longer work on deeper concerns.

Approaches Francesca lists

Online support
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small practical steps and what is already working. It suits people who want clear, manageable goals and ways to cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francesca will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the balance of listening and goal-setting to suit the client's needs, aims and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Online work can be flexible and fit into busy routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy going despite work, travel or caring responsibilities.
