Francesca Hemery , NCPS

Francesca Hemery is accredited in the United Kingdom as a counsellor and holds the NCPS credential, a UK counselling accreditation. With over three years of professional experience, she works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship tensions, family conflicts, parenting challenges, issues with self-esteem, grief, anger, career concerns and adapting to life changes. Francesca combines a person-centred way of working with evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy to create tailored support that reflects each person's needs and goals.

She approaches clients with sensitivity, respect and compassion, tailoring dialogue and treatment plans to be specific and practical. Francesca has experience supporting teenagers and adults and has worked with neurodiverse clients, adapting her style to suit different communication and processing needs. She recognises that starting therapy requires courage and positions herself as a supportive collaborator throughout that process.

Francesca typically offers the majority of her sessions in the evenings and at weekends, providing flexible appointment times for those balancing work, study or family commitments. Her practice emphasises a respectful, person-centred foundation alongside other structured methods to help clients move toward clearer thinking and improved coping.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Support

Francesca draws on person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy as core approaches. Person-centred counselling focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship and helping people explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace - it is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and can be effective for anxiety, panic, low mood and coping with life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Francesca works with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences and adapts her methods as therapy progresses so the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity when life is busy, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
