Francesca Manzi, BACP

Francesca Manzi is a UK-credentialed counsellor with more than 20 years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the principal professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her practice centers on supporting people through grief, depression, stress, anxiety and the complexities of living with chronic health conditions.

She has a particular interest in working with adult children of emotionally immature parents and survivors of narcissistic abuse. Prior to becoming a counsellor, Francesca worked in nursing, midwifery and foster care, experience that contributes to a practical understanding of both physical and emotional care needs. Francesca employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques and offers a calm, compassionate presence while helping clients move through difficult transitions and begin healing.

Evidence-based approaches delivered through online care

Francesca works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to losses and long-term health challenges, offering focused support to help people process grief and the emotions that follow major life changes. She also uses practical, skills-oriented methods to address stress and anxiety, helping clients develop coping tools they can apply day to day. In addition, Francesca provides relational support for those recovering from difficult family dynamics and narcissistic abuse, helping to clarify boundaries and rebuild self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Francesca collaborates with clients to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals and personal preferences, and adjusts the plan as the work progresses so clients feel involved and supported.

These approaches are commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists and adapt well to remote care. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, health or caregiving responsibilities, offering flexibility and continuity of care without requiring travel.
