With 17 years’ experience, Francesca Martin is a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor who also holds an additional qualification in Couples Counselling and a CPD certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling. She is a Registered Member of the BACP, a recognised professional counselling body, and is a qualified Counselling Supervisor.

Francesca has worked with young people, adults and couples across a range of settings. Her background includes roles in various schools and counselling agencies, one of which specialised in alcohol-related issues, and she served as a School Counsellor for 11 years.

She has a particular interest in relationship matters and adopts a non-directive, person-centred approach – she will not tell clients what to do but will work alongside them to explore options and develop understanding. Francesca offers a private, confidential space and listens with acceptance and empathy, aiming to help clients make sense of what is troubling them.

Francesca looks forward to meeting people who are seeking support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, family or parenting issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, career and depression, compassion fatigue, or ADHD.
