Franciane Weinhardt Conroy, BACP

Franciane Weinhardt Conroy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with clients who are struggling with trauma, low self-esteem and depression. Franciane is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Portuguese.

She has six years of professional experience supporting people through panic, post-traumatic stress and feelings of isolation. Franciane helps people untangle patterns linked to attachment, codependency and family of origin concerns. She also addresses guilt, shame and the fallout from infidelity.

In sessions she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through upsetting thoughts and confusing feelings. Franciane focuses on practical steps as well as understanding where difficulties started. She works collaboratively to set goals that feel achievable.

She recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting and offers straightforward guidance about the process. People can expect clear conversation, gentle challenge and support to build self-love and confidence. Franciane adapts her approach to each person’s needs and cultural background.

Therapy options include video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging. She does not take international clients at this time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to suit the client.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Franciane draws on well-known evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people with anxiety and trauma. One approach focuses on helping clients manage symptoms of panic and social anxiety by teaching breathing and grounding skills alongside gradual exposure to feared situations. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people make sense of distressing memories, reduce overwhelming reactions and build coping strategies for daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Franciane will discuss different options and help the person decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time if something isn’t working and keeps the plan focused on practical change and improved wellbeing.

Online therapy here is delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, reflection between appointments and people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, study and family commitments.
