About Francesca
Francesca Di Genova works from a human-centred perspective that values the relationship with the person sitting opposite her. She combines client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or worn out. Francesca is presented here as a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through problems such as anxiety, panic, low mood and stress. She also helps people facing addiction, sleep problems, anger and challenges linked to identity and intimacy. Family and parenting concerns are among the issues she lists as a focus area.
Francesca uses simple, practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. She pairs these with a client-centred stance that prioritises listening and understanding. That combination aims to make day-to-day coping feel more manageable.
Clients can expect clear explanations and straightforward tools to try between sessions. Francesca draws on experience working across a broad range of mental health difficulties, including panic disorder, social anxiety and aspects of personality-related distress.
She works in English and Italian and is based in the United Kingdom. Sessions are arranged via the site process, which involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
How Francesca uses client-centred and CBT approaches online
Francesca draws on client-centred therapy to prioritise a warm, listening relationship. This approach focuses on being heard and understood, and it helps people feel able to talk about difficult emotions and personal struggles.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to offer simple, practical steps. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This can be useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Francesca will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. That might mean combining listening-focused sessions with short exercises or homework to try between meetings.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific formats available before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can make scheduling easier, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt exercises and worksheets to digital sessions so practical progress can continue even when meeting remotely.
