About Francesca
Francesca Sullivan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, or stuck after a loss. She supports those dealing with relationship and family tensions, grief, stress, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem or intimacy. Francesca works with common life pressures too, such as career worries, money concerns and major life changes.
Francesca uses a person-centred way of working. Sessions start where the client is and move at a comfortable pace.
Background and approach
She listens with warmth and honesty and focuses on building trust so people feel heard and valued. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help clients find practical steps forward. That approach looks for small, realistic changes that can make daily life easier and build momentum toward longer-term goals.
Francesca has six years' experience and holds the NCPS credential. She has training in bereavement, grief and loss and understands grief can follow many kinds of loss, not only the death of a loved one. She has personal experience of loss, which she uses to inform her compassionate approach.
Creative techniques can be offered when talking alone feels difficult. Options may include images, drawing, collages, creative journaling and simple symbolic tools such as nesting dolls. Francesca will discuss any creative method first to make sure a client is comfortable with it.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that can make life feel better quickly. It asks what is already working and looks for manageable ways to build on those strengths, which can help with stress, low mood and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Francesca will work with clients to choose what fits best. She discusses goals and preferences openly and adapts the mix of listening and practical tasks to each person's needs in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins or flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship.
