Hello, I'm Francesca, an AuDHD, neuro‑affirming psychologist supporting adolescents and adults to live, connect, thrive and honour their needs and neurotype. I work creatively - using visuals, games, quiet, movement, writing- shaping sessions so they feel accessible and meaningful. I support people experiencing life transitions, stress, low mood and anxiety; as well as navigating neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD, SLD) , and co-occuring challenges (chronic illness, disordered eating, trauma). I understand the world often expects neurodivergent people to fit into neurotypical systems, and provide therapy that does not reinforce masking.

Working through life's difficulties and living with pain can at times feel like it's more than we can handle, but these are also often the seasons where meaningful change starts to happen. Receiving support can be the difference between the outcomes we want and the ones we don't. Especially when that support feels genuinely safe and contained.

Schema Therapy
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognising and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
