About Francisco

Francisco Fernandez Camenforte is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem problems and trauma and abuse. He also supports those facing life changes, grief, anger, career strain and issues related to LGBT identity and gender dysphoria.

Francisco uses person-centred approaches that put the client's perspective first. He draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, practical steps for short-term goals. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with the client directing what matters most to them.

His background includes work in educational settings as a student counsellor and in community services. He has provided face-to-face counselling, remote sessions and helpline support, which has given him experience with different ways people reach out for help. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

In practical terms he emphasises clients' strengths and autonomy. Conversations often look at what has worked before and small changes that can be tried between sessions. The focus is on clear, manageable steps rather than long theoretical explanations.

Francisco offers sessions in English and Spanish. He does not accept international clients outside the UK. People who prefer direct, goal-oriented discussion alongside a person-centred stance may find his approach helpful.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Francisco works from a client-centred base, which means sessions focus on the client's concerns and perspective. The counsellor listens for what matters most and follows the person's lead to set goals and topics for discussion.

He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, concrete steps that can reduce distress or build confidence. This approach looks for practical changes and recognises what has worked in the past, which can be useful for worry about social situations or improving coping skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Francisco will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses rather than fixed from the start.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or caregiving commitments, and they can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when people need a quick review, or longer sessions when there is more to cover.
