Francesca Hemery, NCPS

Francesca Hemery offers person-centred counselling with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She operates from a respectful, compassionate stance and adapts conversations to each person’s needs.

Francesca is registered with NCPS, which she uses as the basis for her practice in the United Kingdom. She brings three years of professional experience to sessions and combines a person-centred attitude with cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful. This mix aims to balance listening with hands-on strategies for day-to-day coping.

People come to her for help with relationship strain, parenting pressures and family tensions. She also supports those dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem and workplace difficulties. Francesca has experience with attachment-related concerns, body image and issues around guilt, shame and isolation.

Her work includes support for mood and panic symptoms, social anxiety and the navigation of major life transitions such as separation or career change. She pays attention to how caregiving stress and control issues affect daily life and choices.

Sessions are offered in English and Francesca primarily works in the evenings and at weekends. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most and try practical steps between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and practical support

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor creates a non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics. This approach helps people feel heard and clearer about their next steps.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teach practical ways to change patterns that cause distress. These tools can be useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts and everyday coping tasks.

Francesca will work with each person to find the approaches that fit best. She discusses goals and preferences openly and adjusts the mix of listening and practical skills as the work progresses. Finding the right method is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them. Video calls are useful for fuller interaction, phone sessions can fit a short break in a workday or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. This flexibility supports regular contact while fitting around evening and weekend schedules.
