About Francesca
Francesca Martin is a counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP with 17 years of experience. She has worked in schools and counselling agencies, including services focused on alcohol-related issues, and has also worked as a school counsellor for 11 years. Her listing notes a focus on relationship concerns alongside a broad range of issues such as stress, anxiety and grief.
Francesca uses Client-Centred Therapy and frames sessions around listening and helping people make sense of what is troubling them. She offers counselling supervision and has an additional qualification in couples counselling plus a CPD certificate in online and telephone counselling. She does not accept international clients.
Sessions are shaped by what the person brings. Francesca aims to explore options and understanding rather than prescribe solutions. Practical concerns such as communication problems, commitment issues, addictions and parenting strain are part of her stated focus. She also lists work with ADHD, attachment and intimacy-related issues.
Her background includes work across education and agency settings, giving experience with young people, adults and couples. The BACP registration is listed in her profile as a professional credential. Conversations can cover grief, career concerns, body image and managing change.
People who prefer a conversational, non-directive way of working may find her approach fits well. If someone wants help sorting through relationship difficulties, or needs a counsellor experienced in school and agency contexts, Francesca is presented as a practical choice. Confirm current session options before booking.
How Client-Centred work translates to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and helping people clarify their own choices. In practice this means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what is said and supports exploration of feelings and options. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship difficulties and adjusting to life changes.Francesca also lists experience in couples counselling and school settings, which can shape how sessions are organised and the topics covered. Finding the best approach is collaborative; she works with each person to decide what methods and pacing feel most helpful based on needs and goals. That choice can change as work progresses.
The profile notes a CPD certificate in online and telephone counselling, but does not list specific session formats here. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match daily life. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel. They can also reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone manage nerves.
