Francesca Dolan Wills, BACP

She also supports people facing grief and pregnancy or fertility loss, career difficulties and a wide range of family concerns. Sessions aim to be straightforward and non-judgemental, so someone can talk openly about what matters to them. Her background includes time supporting people at a local hospice, a pregnancy loss charity and larger UK services.

That mix of small charity and public-service experience shapes a practical, down-to-earth style. Francesca uses evidence-informed approaches to help people clarify problems and try small, helpful changes. In sessions she prioritises listening and helping people feel heard.

Conversations usually focus on immediate worries and practical steps that can make daily life easier. Where helpful, she brings in mindfulness exercises and goal-focused techniques to manage symptoms and build coping skills. Francesca aims to work collaboratively to set realistic goals.

She helps people consider what change looks like for them and supports progress at a comfortable pace. The initial steps are simple and practical, designed for someone taking therapy on their phone or laptop.
