About Francesca
Francesca Martin is a Person-Centred Counsellor with 17 years' experience and a Registered Member of BACP. She has worked in schools and counselling agencies and has additional qualifications in couples counselling and in online and telephone counselling. Francesca has also been a counselling supervisor and has experience supporting adults and young people in a range of settings.
She regularly helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. Relationship issues and intimacy-related concerns are a strong focus for her. She also supports people facing grief, life changes, addiction issues, parenting strain and career confusion.
Francesca uses a person-centred approach that is based on listening without judgement. Sessions aim to help clients talk through difficult feelings and identify practical options. She does not direct decisions but works with people to find clearer thinking and possible next steps.
Her background includes long periods working in schools and an agency specialising in alcohol-related issues. That experience means she is used to practical, solution-focused conversations as well as longer-term emotional work. She is comfortable working with issues such as ADHD, attachment and caregiver stress.
Sessions are offered in English and Francesca practises in the United Kingdom.

Working online with a person-centred counsellor
Francesca uses Person-Centred Therapy, which means she focuses on non-judgemental listening and supporting clients to find their own solutions. This approach helps when you are feeling stuck, unsure about relationships, or dealing with anxiety and low mood.Her training in online and telephone counselling means she has adapted person-centred techniques for remote work. That often involves reflective listening, checking in about how a session is going, and helping clients notice small steps they can try between meetings. These methods can suit people coping with grief, life transitions, or stress from work or study.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Francesca will work with each client to decide what feels most helpful, using their needs, goals and preferences as a guide. She discusses options together and adjusts the way she works as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or caring responsibilities and can reduce travel time. They also allow for quieter, shorter check-ins when a full in-person session is harder to arrange.
