Francesca Di Genova, BACP

Francesca Di Genova is a United Kingdom based therapist with eight years of clinical experience and membership of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She blends a cognitive behavioral orientation with a humanistic, client-centered stance, giving careful attention to the relationship between therapist and client while using practical, evidence-informed techniques to address thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Francesca works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety and panic, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, grief, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career stress and intimacy-related difficulties. Her background in psychotherapy and psychological assessment supports tailored interventions, helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop new coping strategies to reduce emotional distress and improve everyday functioning.

Known for clear communication, empathy and a respectful, non-judgmental approach, Francesca aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore challenges and set achievable goals. She offers therapy in English and Italian and supports adults navigating life changes, interpersonal problems and mood or stress-related conditions from her practice in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Francesca works from both a client-centered perspective and a cognitive behavioral framework. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgmental space where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own process of growth and self-understanding - it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviors and uses structured strategies to identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns - it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Francesca collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy with Francesca offers practical benefits in accessibility and flexibility. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, clients can arrange appointments that fit their schedules and daily routines. Working online makes it easier to maintain consistency of care and to access licensed professionals and therapists without geographic constraints within the therapist's service area.
