Therapy with me will be a process of exploration: self-discovery and growth, aimed to rewrite potentially toxic or misconstrued life scripts (beliefs you have inherited from your
family
or society).
Have you been entertaining the idea of therapy for some time, or is this an impulse search? Have you asked yourself questions such as: “Why me?”, “Who am I?”, “How did I get here?”, “Is this the rest of my life?”, "Is this really happening to me", "Why does this always happen to me?", “How do I get where I want to be?” Have you or others have labelled yourself as "down", "depressed", "anxious" or "stressed"? Are you worried about feeling a certain way, or not living the life you were meant to live? Do you carry on your shoulders more than you bargained for and feel you can't share with anyone? I am here for you.

I am a highly experienced
Family
and Systemic Psychotherapist who works with families, couples and individuals. Currently I am working on-line. I specialise in child-related issues but I am also very experienced in working with adult families where there are relationship issues or unresolved difficulties from the past. My work with couples, often with a female colleague, is often when there is a desire to improve the relationship and rediscover some of the joy that may have been lost.

"We are our lives" the wholeness of ourselves includes our ethnic and
family
cultural background, and how these dynamics have caused patterns in how we function with difference.
We all come with issues of relating to the world, in which we have grown. Having lived experience of difference has been the foundation of my practice. My Integrative, approach incorporates the Intercultural model of therapy. I have worked extensively with people of various cultural backgrounds. I listen from the perspective of what is troubling you, enabling an open environment for you to explore your issues. Working holistically, my intention is to create a space to hold the whole of you, offering a warm acceptance to enable you to step into the connectedness of your true self. Call for a free 15min chat to explore your needs.

Do you suffer from home and work-based anxiety, stress management, workplace performance, grief/bereavement and/or
family
conflict? Clients seeing me want help to succeed at work, help with achieving work/life balance from COVID-19, and help resolving communication difficulties with co-workers and
family
members. Clients who see me come for solutions to problems, not drawn out therapy or coaching. My aim is to help you in a minimal amount of time, for an affordable price that beats out most psychologists and coaches.

Firstly, thank you for being here. Deciding to work with a therapist is a big step - I've been there! How we might work together will range from creative exercises to a more pragmatic approach depending on your specific challenges. We'll work together towards the best possible outcome for you. Sessions are a time for you to tap into your needs in a space free of judgement - a space for you to just be. I have trained somatically (tapping into the body's wisdom), worked with Solution Focused Therapy and also as a Relationship coach. All of these tools are available to you as a client.

issues.
Hello, my name is Francesco. I am an experienced therapist who supports adults navigating anxious and stressful times. I have particular experience in helping adults with issues around self-esteem and self-blame. It can be challenging to manage emotions, and a combination of factors can lead to poor mental health and feeling unheard or misunderstood. I will listen to you sincerely. Therapy can bring freedom from a critical inner voice. I have extensive experience of working with clinically depressed clients for the NHS, supporting them through periods of feeling lost, empty and numb. I am also a lecturer in Counselling Studies.

I have experience working with adults who have experienced trauma specifically childhood sexual abuse and challenges around
family
, identity, self-esteem, boundaries, culture and faith.
Starting therapy can often feel like a big step and rather daunting at times. There may be various reasons why you are currently considering counselling. You may be experiencing emotions associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post a traumatic event. I offer a safe confidential space where you can work through these traumatic experiences. If you've experienced childhood trauma or sexual abuse, do get in touch. I offer face-to-face sessions based in Central London and online sessions.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
