How I Can Help
Integrative therapy, psychotherapeutic counselling, hypnotherapy, and coaching for people seeking transformative healing and change
Hello, I am Francesca, an integrative therapist, psychotherapeutic counsellor, hypnotherapist, and coach. I provide a non-judgemental space for exploration, self-understanding, and transformation.
I help my clients explore and resolve a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, loneliness, anger, grief, and sleep problems. I also support my clients with relationship difficulties, including overcoming sexual issues and exploring attachment patterns. Additionally, I offer support in processing and integrating psychedelic experiences and non-ordinary states of consciousness.
My approach is integrative and person-centred, which means I offer different methods and frameworks for making progress towards what’s most meaningful to you.
Integrative therapy is an approach that incorporates and combines elements from different theoretical orientations and therapeutic techniques. It draws from various theories and practices to create a tailored and comprehensive treatment approach for each individual.
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis and talk therapy to discover the underlying causes of issues and symptoms so they can be brought forward and resolved with the support of a therapist.
Counselling is a talking therapy that supports you in discovering new ways to resolve emotional issues and overcome life’s challenges. Psychotherapeutic counselling emphasises the in-depth therapeutic relationship jointly created by the therapist and the client. Hypno-psychotherapeutic counselling uses hypnotherapy and within the therapeutic process.
Somatic therapy is an approach that focuses on the body and how emotions appear within the body. It cultivates an awareness of bodily sensations while exploring thoughts, emotions, and memories to support recovery and change.
For some of my clients, this is their first time opening up to someone. In other cases, clients may have experience with talk therapy but may feel they are going in circles talking about things without seeing real change. In this case, hypnotherapy or integrative methods can help with deeper healing and resolution.

Frequently asked questions
How do the sessions work?
Each session is tailored to your needs and may include a combination of hypnosis and talk therapy. We may do hypnosis in each session. Other times, we may do hypnosis every other session with talk therapy and integration on either side. In other cases, we may use coaching or somatic methods to explore and create change.
What if I can’t be hypnotised?
If you are open to the process, it will be possible for you to be hypnotised. Although different people have different levels of suggestibility, all people are able to move into a relaxed state of consciousness. It is common to be sceptical and this can be discussed in our session.
How much does it cost?
Session fees can be viewed here.
Where do you see clients?
I hold sessions online over Zoom.
Beginning therapy
Short-term therapy or counselling may be the right approach if you are looking for support in a period of distress or difficulty. Medium or long-term therapy is more explorative and can help you understand your life, your relationships, and the patterns you’ve experienced.
To get started, book a consultation or contact me.
