Hello, my name is Francesca. Thank you for visiting my page and I look forward to supporting you on your counselling journey. I work with people experiencing many different worries including anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem.
I am an integrative counsellor, meaning that I tailor the way I work to fit your needs.
Our sessions are client led, meaning it is your space and time that can be used exploring whatever you wish to bring, working at a pace that is right for you.
I offer a confidential, safe, and non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
I hold the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work together, which I approach with warmth, honesty and the greatest of care. I create a trusting space, in which you feel supported, valued, and listened to.
I am a Bereavement, Grief and Loss informed counsellor, having undergone training to enhance my knowledge of the different types of grief and loss people can experience and how best to support them.
Grief is often associated with the loss of a loved one, whereas grief can apply to every area of our lives. Anything from losing a precious item to a beloved pet.
I have experienced grief and loss myself and understand this effects everyone in different ways. I understand there is no right or wrong way to process a loss and I offer a space to explore yours with you.
Creative counselling combines talking therapy with creative techniques. They can offer support to communicate thoughts and feelings you find difficult to put into words.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Francesca Sullivan. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Fran is a lovely person and has given me so much support during my time on BetterHelp. She is caring, attentive and so down to earth, which really helped at the beginning when we were building our trust in each other. Fran reaches out to me regularly and always wants to help me address any concerns that I have. Without a doubt she had gone above and beyond what I expected from signing up to BetterHelp and for that I cannot thank her enough. Thank you Fran!!!

Francesca is very sensitive and intuitive. She is easy to talk with and I have felt relaxed and able to open up when talking with her.
I have only just begun therapy but I feel very positive about the experience I have had so far and confident that she will help me progress.
