Francesca Di Genova , BACP

Francesca Di Genova is a BACP-accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She combines a background in psychotherapy and psychological assessment with a warm, communicative approach to support people facing a wide range of mental health and relationship challenges. Francesca aims to offer a safe, personal, non-judgmental and respectful space where clients can explore issues such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, addictions, personality-related difficulties, low self-esteem, social and interpersonal concerns, family conflict and challenging behaviors.

Her practice is informed by cognitive behavioral therapy - a model that looks at how thoughts, emotions and actions interact and how changing patterns of thinking can ease emotional distress. At the same time Francesca adopts a humanistic, client-centered stance that places significant value on the therapeutic relationship as a key factor in progress. She works with diverse presenting issues including stress, relationship difficulties, coping with life changes, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Francesca provides therapy in English and Italian and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to recognised professional standards.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support

Francesca draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical approach that explores how thoughts, emotions and behaviors interact and how changing unhelpful thinking can reduce distress. CBT is well suited to difficulties such as anxiety, panic, depression, sleep problems and patterns that maintain low mood or worry. She also works from a client-centered, humanistic perspective that emphasizes empathy, understanding and the quality of the therapeutic relationship. This approach supports exploration of identity, self-esteem, relationship issues and complex emotional experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Francesca works collaboratively with people to identify which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to find the best fit for each person.

For those who work with her, online therapy can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments, and make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
