About Me
I am Francesca Robson, a fully qualified Person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
As a teenager, I underwent therapy myself and found the experience so positive and life-changing. Counselling helps to increase self-awareness to live with a healthy mindset and create safe boundaries. The impact of undergoing therapy saved my life and later I began training in counselling. I qualified with a BSc (Hons) in Person-centred Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2015.
I’ve since worked in a variety of settings as a counsellor offering support for young people and adults, within the NHS, School Counselling , Addiction residential treatment centres and individuals at my private practice. I have experience working with young people recovering from self-harm and anxiety and adults recovering from addiction and eating disorders. I am passionate about helping individuals to feel empowered and for them to see and feel lasting changes in their lives.
It’s so incredibly rewarding to see the powerful effects therapy has on clients - to witness young people and adults flourish. I often integrate mindfulness and focusing in my practice, using the person-centred approach and being in the present moment, which is highly effective. Learn more about my services here.
It can feel daunting reaching out but we all need help at times in our life. Just fill out this form or
call +44 7934 758582. I will get back to you within 24 hours during work hours.
At present, I only offer online counselling, which is an effective way to engage with therapy. 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 50 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 therapist, you may feel apprehensive about beginning counselling. The therapeutic relationship is very important for success. I create a safe, non-judgmental space to support you so that we can build a trusting relationship. Online sessions are a very convenient way of undergoing therapy at your own 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 10-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 only two 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.
