Francesca Di Genova, BACP

Francesca Di Genova is a UK-based therapist with 8 years of professional experience, offering a compassionate and client-focused approach to psychological care. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, ADHD, addictions, LGBT-related issues, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, anger, career concerns, depression, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include avoidant personality patterns, feelings of emptiness, midlife crisis, panic disorder and panic attacks, and social anxiety and phobia.

Her practice draws on both client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Francesca emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a central element of the work and uses CBT to help clients explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. She explains cognitive behavioral techniques in practical terms so that thought patterns can be identified, examined, and revised to reduce emotional distress and improve daily functioning.

Francesca holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting her alignment with recognised professional standards in the UK. She brings experience in psychotherapy and psychological assessment to her sessions, combining empathic communication with structured therapeutic strategies to address both immediate difficulties and longer-term patterns.

Fluent in English and Italian, Francesca adapts her approach to each person's needs, balancing humanistic listening with evidence-informed interventions to support meaningful change over time.
