Working with Francesca has been an exceptionally grounding and clarifying experience. She creates a space that feels safe, steady, and free of judgement, and she has a remarkable ability to understand what I’m trying to express even when I struggle to articulate it myself. Her questions are thoughtful, her insights are precise, and she consistently helps me notice patterns I hadn’t been aware of. What stands out most is her balance of warmth and professionalism. She listens deeply, but she also guides the conversation in a way that makes each session feel purposeful. I’ve come away with practical tools, a clearer sense of myself, and a much better understanding of the emotions and habits that shape my decisions. I’m genuinely grateful for the support and stability she offers. Francesca is an excellent therapist, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for meaningful, attentive, and effective therapy.

Lets work out how to make sense to the tangles in the tapestry. I bring humour, warmth, and realness into the therapy space because I believe healing happens when we feel truly seen, not judged. My passion? Supporting neurodivergent and disabled individuals in a world that often doesn’t accommodate us. I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to mask, to push through burnout, or to feel like you’re "too much" or "not enough" at the same time. In my space, you don’t have to explain why your brain works the way it does, I already get it.
In our sessions, we create a space where you don’t have to mask, explain, or prove yourself. We work together to figure out what actually helps, without forcing neurotypical strategies that were never designed for your brain.
What Happens in a Session?
We start by checking in. How has your week been? What’s been overwhelming, frustrating, or even exciting? From there, we explore what’s coming up for you, whether that’s struggles with focus, burnout, relationships, self-doubt, or just feeling like the world wasn’t built for you.
How Do We Work Together?
• We work with your brain, not against it- whether that means breaking things down into small, manageable steps, using creative problem-solving, or embracing different ways of thinking and doing things.
• We explore patterns that might be keeping you stuck- not to judge, but to understand and find new ways forward.
• We validate your experiences and help you unlearn any shame you’ve been carrying about being "too much" or "not enough."
• We build practical tools to manage overwhelm, set boundaries, and navigate a world that often doesn’t accommodate neurodivergence or disability.
There’s no pressure to show up a certain way. Some days, we’ll have deep conversations; other days, we might need to focus on immediate, real-life struggles. Whether you need structure or a free-flowing space to process, we adapt to what you need.
We work together to create a therapy experience that feels right for you-because healing should never feel like trying to fit into a box that wasn’t built for you in the first place.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
