Francesca Harland-Davis

Francesca Harland-Davis brings humour, warmth, and straightforwardness to the therapy room, believing that healing is rooted in feeling genuinely seen rather than judged. She is particularly committed to supporting neurodivergent and disabled individuals in a world that often fails to accommodate different ways of being.

Francesca knows firsthand how exhausting it can be to mask, to push through burnout, or to feel simultaneously “too much” and “not enough.” In her practice, clients do not need to explain why their brain works the way it does - she already understands and offers a space where masking, proving, or over-explaining are not required.

Sessions typically begin with a simple check-in about how the week has been and what is currently overwhelming, frustrating, or even hopeful. From there she and the client explore what is coming up, whether that involves difficulties with focus, burnout, relationships, self-doubt, or the sense that the world was not built for them.

Francesca works with each person’s brain rather than against it - this can mean breaking tasks into manageable steps, using creative problem-solving, or embracing different approaches to thinking and doing. She attends to patterns that may be keeping someone stuck, not to judge but to understand and find new ways forward, and she helps people unlearn shame tied to feeling “too much” or “not enough.” Practical tools are developed collaboratively to manage overwhelm, set boundaries, and navigate environments that often do not accommodate neurodivergence or disability.

There is no pressure to show up in a particular way. Some sessions will involve deep conversation while others focus on immediate, everyday challenges. Whether a client needs clear structure or a freer space to process, Francesca adapts to what is needed and co-creates a therapy experience that fits the individual rather than asking them to fit a predefined box.
