Francesca Redden, PACFA

Francesca Redden is an Australian counsellor with ten years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and major life transitions such as separation or career change. She brings a compassionate, person-centred approach that emphasizes the client as the expert of their own story while offering practical tools to rebuild confidence and motivation.

Working as a body-based somatic counsellor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Francesca helps clients develop greater safety in their bodies and build internal resources that make everyday life feel more manageable. She frames healing as a gradual process of releasing stuck patterns held in the nervous system and cultivating steadier emotional regulation and self-compassion.

Francesca is a qualified counsellor and a Clinical Supervisor with PACFA - a professional counselling association in Australia. Her practice is trauma-informed and person-centred, meeting people where they are while tailoring interventions to individual needs. She draws on a range of modalities including Nervous System Healing, Inner Child Healing, Inner Parts Work, Internal Family Systems, Shadow Work, Non Violent Communication, Mindfulness, Mindful Self-Compassion and work addressing birth trauma.

Francesca believes each person carries deep inner wisdom that can be accessed when overwhelming stress or past hurts are gently worked with. She aims to help clients find more ease, confidence and empowerment as they move through change and recovery.
