Francesca Browning, BACP

Francesca Browning is a BACP qualified counsellor who works in a person-centred way, creating a warm and supportive setting where she listens without judgement to what matters most to each person. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Francesca believes that being truly heard can help people feel less alone and better understood.

She brings experience from the NHS, where she supported physical and emotional rehabilitation for people recovering from stroke and other neurological impairments. Her counselling work also includes supporting those facing bereavement and people affected by life-limiting illness such as cancer. Francesca currently works with BUPA counselling, Macmillan, and oncology clients.

Alongside bereavement and oncology support, Francesca works with a broad range of concerns including stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem. She recognises that certain situations or life changes can become overwhelming and produce intense emotions. While external circumstances may not always be changeable, Francesca offers a non-judgemental, empathic and relaxed space to help untangle feelings, regain a sense of control, and make decisions.

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and Francesca aims to put people at ease and reduce isolation as they move through their journey.
