About Francesca
Francesca Di Genova is a counsellor who blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural approaches. She aims to create a respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard and start making small changes. Francesca speaks English and Italian and practises from the United Kingdom.
She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and problems with sleep or anger.
Background and approach
Additional areas of focus include ADHD, addictions, social anxiety, panic attacks and feelings of emptiness or midlife crisis. Francesca uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the relationship in sessions. That means she listens closely and follows the client’s pace so people feel heard.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and how changing one can change the others. With eight years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she combines practical thinking with an empathetic stance. Sessions are a mix of talking and practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging for their appointments. Francesca works with each person to set realistic goals and to plan simple strategies for coping with everyday pressures. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps link someone to the service and then appointments are scheduled to fit each person’s situation.

Approaches Francesca lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. In online work CBT can include short exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments to use between sessions and report back on in the next meeting.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit each person’s needs. Together they will try different tools and agree what feels most useful for day-to-day coping and longer term change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face style, phone calls suit quieter bandwidth or a shorter check-in, and messaging can work well for people who prefer written reflection or more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the same therapeutic methods and aims.
