Life can be unpredictable and some experiences can cause reactions we don’t fully understand. Counselling can help gain relief and clarity, helping you to find a healthier way forward. Hearing your thoughts and feelings out loud, in the presence of a trained professional can bring about shifts in awareness and perception. Facing your concerns or fears can feel empowering, helping you to feel more in control. My aim is to provide a warm, welcoming safe environment where together we can explore any worries, problems or issues that are causing you any distress, sadness or anxiety.

How you feel about yourself and your worth can impact on you every day and in every relationship. You may have difficulties with family members or in friendships and more personal relationships. You may find it difficult to voice your needs. Reflecting on how we are with others and with our self can be revealing and bring about change. This can help you to be more present and involved in your life. These thoughts and feelings didn’t develop overnight and I provide you with a confidential space to support you in this exploration for lasting change.

Hi, I’m Francesca Smith and I specialise in supporting women with busy, demanding lives who are struggling with trauma, OCD, low self‑esteem, burnout or perfectionistic patterns. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, anxious & beaten down by self criticism. We work together on processing trauma, developing compassion & healthier self-esteem, all at a pace that's right for you. I use evidence‑based therapies, including CBT, EMDR, ACT, CFT and IFS‑informed EMDR. It's not prescriptive or scripted like some NHS therapy can feel, it's deeply personalised to suit you.

Growing up is hard, and today’s world brings extra pressures for children and teens. Emotional struggles can show up as difficult behavior, anxiety, or unhealthy ways of coping, and it’s often hard for children to express what’s inside. I support families at every stage: from infancy (0–2), through parent-infant psychotherapy to help babies and parents build secure, nurturing connections, to older children and teens, providing tailored support to process emotions, develop coping skills, strengthen relationships, and feel understood in a safe and creative space.

You’re the person everyone turns to. The one who gets things done while quietly wondering who you can turn to? Inside, you’re exhausted by the constant noise of overthinking and the energy it takes to 'keep the peace'. I offer a space where you don’t have to perform, pretend you’re fine, or have the 'right' words. Whether walking in nature, sitting in my quiet room, or talking online, we’ll slow things down so you can hear yourself again. My aim is to help you feel more grounded, more confident in your choices, and less alone with what you’re carrying.
