Ethereal Counselling
Counselling for Anxiety, Confidence & Emotional Wellbeing.
A calm and compassionate space to feel heard and supported.
In person, online UK-wide and by phone.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Ethereal Counselling.
Hi, I'm Francesca Robson. I offer supportive counselling for adults and young people aged (16+) . You may be feeling anxious, low in confidence, grieving a loss, or simply struggling to cope with life's challenges. Whatever you're carrying, you're not alone. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk things through at your own pace and begin to feel more grounded, clear and connected.
Here to support you...
I have been qualified with experience since 2015 and hold a first-class BSc (Hons) in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy. I'm also a registered member of both the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) & the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
I work with adults and young people, offering talking therapy in person in Deal, Kent, and remotely across the UK. Clients often come to me with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, or the lasting impact of life's challenges.
I'm warm, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. At the heart of my work is the belief in each person's capacity to grow, heal and feel more like themselves again.
My Approach
My core approach is person-centred, meaning that sessions are guided by your needs, your pace and what feels the most helpful to you.
I also work integratively, drawing on other approaches when they can offer extra support. This might include mindfulness, simple focusing techniques, worksheets or visual cards to explore things in different ways.
My aim is to offer a calm, honest and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, begin to make sense of what you're feeling, and feel more grounded and supported.

Frequently asked questions
I offer In-person, telephone and online counselling. All are equally effective ways to engage with counselling. For online counselling, after we both agree on a time and day, I send you an invite link via the secure platform Zoom to meet, and we begin our session. Sessions are weekly and last 60 minutes. The number of sessions depends on your preferences, but I will discuss this with you during your initial session. I offer both short and long-term sessions for £60.00 per session.
When you start working with an online counsellor, you may feel apprehensive about beginning counselling. The therapeutic relationship is very important for success. I create a safe, non-judgemental space to support you so that we can build a trusting relationship. Online sessions are a very convenient way of undergoing counselling at your pace, where you can find a quiet, comfortable space to be fully at ease.
Get in touch via francesca@ethereal-counsellng.co.uk and I will contact you to schedule an initial 15-minute FREE consultation. Here we will discuss what issues you are experiencing and your goals for therapy. You can also ask me any questions about the therapy process. If you want to proceed, we can book your first in-depth online assessment session, which usually lasts 60 minutes.
When you begin therapy with me, you control what we explore and discuss. My sessions take place in a safe and non-judgmental space, so you can talk freely and honestly about your experiences and current issues, helping you explore your emotions and feelings deeply. Therapy aims to help you find the answers from within, so you can understand better and move forward with your life.
Everything you discuss with me during our sessions is confidential. There are exceptions to this, where I am obliged to break confidentiality: if you disclose involvement in or knowledge of any criminal activities or if there is a safeguarding issue if you or any adult or child related to you could potentially be under threat of harm or abuse.
