Francesca Harland-Davis, BACP

Francesca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques presented in plain, workable terms. One approach focuses on breaking tasks into small, achievable steps so overwhelm feels more manageable; this helps with burnout, depression and executive difficulties. Another approach examines patterns in relationships and attachment so clients can spot recurring problems and try new responses; this is useful for relationship strain and attachment worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francesca treats the choice of method as a collaboration, working with each person’s goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the ways of working as therapy progresses to find what feels most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and clearer non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs while keeping the focus on progress and useful skills.
