Here to Listen
Life is full of ups and downs. Most of the time we can deal with this but sometimes we can struggle making sense of everything. These feelings may become overwhelming and difficult to endure. Asking for help is OK. Counselling could be the help you need. Unlike talking to friends or family, speaking with an impartial skilled and caring therapist can help alleviate feelings and develop your ability to mange and feel more in control.
I am a BACP qualified counsellor working in a person-centred way. This means I offer a warm, supportive and nurturing environment where I will listen without judgement and prejudice to whatever feels most significant to you. I believe being heard can help you feel understood and less alone in the world.
Hi, I’m Francesca Browning. I live in South Manchester with my husband and two young boys. After suffering from anxiety and postnatal depression with my first child, I received counselling which helped me immensely. With my second child, I was under the care of a specialist mental heath team and as a result my experience was so different. This made me look into counselling as a profession. Fast forward and here I am. When you are in the depths of despair, asking for help is so hard. But if you do ask, it could make all the difference.
I promise to support you and be side-by-side with you on your journey. With the goal to help you with your struggles and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
I have a background in the NHS providing physical and emotional rehabilitation to stroke and neurological impaired patients. I have proven counselling experience supporting clients coping with bereavement as well as those affected by a life-limiting illness such as cancer. I currently work at BUPA counselling Macmillan and oncology clients as well as other concerns such as stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and self-esteem.
I have met up online for 7 sessions so far and her support has been instrumental in helping me reach new understanding in life's problems both current and past (including family/work /friendships and previous addiction issues)
Francesca is perceptive, observant and practical with real warmth and compassion which builds trust so I can then take risks in sessions exploring difficult situations. The result is me feeling better and more accepting of life and me! Thank you Francesca
I highly recommend Francesca, an excellent counsellor
Francesca has been understanding, supportive and compassionate. She has listened, questioned and made me really think about myself and my behaviours in a logical way, She always has a lovely smile and a flexible approach!
I would highly recommend her.
Francesca is great and really helps me think about why I feel a certain way.
Francesca has helped me to make sense of how I feel and react in certain situations. My confidence and self-esteem has grown as a result. I felt really comfortable talking with Francesca.
When I came to Francesca I was heartbroken. I had been ghosted by the person I thought was my happy ending and I was struggling to recover. I doubted my decisions, I undervalued myself, personally and professionally. My base line was a life of self-punishment, low self-worth, grief from isolation, abandonment and fall-out from years of controlling behaviour from former partners and family members.
Francesca’s strong, considered and compassionate approach to therapy was exactly the right fit for me, and has over the course of time helped me to understand my triggers, have compassion for myself, to have faith in myself, to trust myself, and has guided me towards a baseline of clarity and calm. Francesca listens intently, understands and remembers each of the important things in my life, asks the right questions and has the uncanny ability to wade through all that material and find the right point to raise that turns the key to help me unlock my problems.
I can’t recommend Francesca to enough people. She has made a tangible difference to my well-being, and I will always be grateful to her. She’s just blimming brilliant really.
