More about Francesca
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- PACFA
I am credentialed in Australia with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief, loss, self compassion, healing relationships, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with coping with life changes and transitions, such as relationships ending or career changes.
As a body-based somatic counsellor, I support you to learn how to create more safety in your body and to grow the resources that support you to move through life with more ease and grace. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths within you waiting to be fully realised.
Taking the first step to reach out for more support takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I am a qualified counsellor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, as well as being a Clinical Supervisor with PACFA. My approach is trauma-informed and person centred, which focuses on your needs and meets you where you are.
Other modalities and approaches I use include Nervous System Healing, Inner Child Healing, Inner Parts Work, Internal Family Systems, Shadow Work, Non Violent Communication, Mindfulness, Mindful Self Compassion and healing from birth trauma.
I believe that each person holds a deep wisdom within them. Sometimes it can be hard to listen to that inner wisdom when we feel overwhelmed by stress, trauma or limiting patterns that are stuck in our body and impacting us in the present day. I am here to help support you to learn how to create more safety in your body and to bring in resources that support your body to move through the challenges of life. Where you can tap into your inner wisdom and feel more ease, confidence and empowerment.
I so look forward to walking beside you and exploring possibilities together.
Warmly,
Francesca

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
