About Francesca
Francesca Di Genova is a counsellor who blends a human-centred style with practical cognitive work. She focuses on what a person is facing now and helps them make small, manageable changes. Francesca speaks English and Italian and works from the United Kingdom.
Her approach puts the relationship at the heart of therapy. Sessions start by listening to what matters most, then gradually look at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Client-Centred Therapy principles guide how she stays warm, respectful and non-judgemental throughout the process.
Francesca has eight years of experience in therapeutic work. She has supported people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, panic attacks, stress, depression, addictions and trauma. She also works with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief and career stress.
Additional areas of focus include avoidant personality, feelings of emptiness, midlife change and social anxiety and phobia. Francesca helps people think through coping strategies, build skills for everyday life and make steady progress at a manageable pace.
Her professional registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How Client-Centred and CBT Work Online
Francesca uses Client-Centred Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental listening space where people can talk through what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to try different responses to difficult situations.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Francesca will work with each person to decide which mix of listening, practical exercises and goal-setting fits their needs and preferences. The plan can change over time as goals and circumstances shift.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break or make it simpler to meet when mobility is limited. It can also let people try techniques in their everyday setting and then reflect on what worked in the next session.
