Francesca Sullivan

Francesca Sullivan is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience supporting people through difficult times. She works with a range of concerns, including anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship issues, and other life changes.

Francesca offers a client-led approach - sessions are shaped around what the client brings and unfold at a pace that feels right for them. She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work, approaching it with warmth, honesty and careful attention so clients feel listened to, valued and supported.

As a Bereavement, Grief and Loss informed counsellor, Francesca has undertaken training to broaden her understanding of the different ways grief can appear. She recognises that grief is not limited to the death of a loved one and that losses can take many forms; she has personal experience of grief and understands it affects people in different ways.

Francesca also uses creative counselling methods alongside talking therapy when these may help clients express thoughts and feelings that are hard to put into words. Creative techniques are chosen to suit each person and discussed first so clients are comfortable using them. Examples of tools she may draw on include working with images or symbols, painting and drawing, collages, nesting dolls and creative journaling.

Clients can expect a safe, non-judgemental space where understanding and increased self-awareness are priorities, and where positive change can be explored in ways that feel right for them.
