About Francesca
Francesca Di Genova offers therapy that centres on understanding how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. She combines a client-centred style with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage anxiety, low mood and stress. Francesca is a BACP professional and works in the United Kingdom, speaking English and Italian.
She focuses on practical, short-term tools when appropriate, and pays close attention to the relationship in the room. That means sessions include gentle listening, reflecting back what is heard, and trying out small changes in thinking or behaviour.
Background and approach
These steps help with panic attacks, sleep problems and managing anger. Francesca also supports people facing identity and relationship questions, work-related stress and burnout, and issues linked to addiction or grief. She works with concerns ranging from social anxiety and avoidance to feelings of emptiness and midlife crisis.
Where relevant, she explores how past trauma and abuse affect present day coping. Her background includes psychological assessment skills alongside psychotherapy experience. She has eight years of clinical work helping people talk through life changes, career worries and problems with self-esteem.
Francesca adapts sessions to each person’s pace and comfort. Sessions can take place via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are not currently accepted.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used so people can connect according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches Francesca lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep problems and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Francesca will discuss goals and preferences and tailor the mix of client-centred listening and CBT techniques to what feels most useful. That decision is made together so therapy matches each person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls are close to face-to-face sessions and allow visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to book regular sessions and to keep continuity while life is busy.
