single-session appointment

There are times when individuals do not require long term therapy but could benefit from an objective ear and perspective of a mental health professional. The goal of the single session appointment is to focus immediately on a specific issue identified by the client, without a lot of background information gathering.
The single-session runs for 1.5 hours (50% longer than the standard session) with the offer of future sessions if needed.

04.

online

Dr. Francis provides online sessions to individuals across the UK and Ireland who are unable to attend face-to-face.

about counselling.



In counselling you are invited to talk about issues that are significant to you and that are having some kind of impact on your life. The key is the provision of a safe therapeutic relationship in which you can explore these issues in a non-judgemental, confidential environment, and at your own pace.

There is no issue too big or small to bring to counselling — Any issue that you feel is causing some kind of dysfunction for you or for those around you, both in your personal and in your professional life, is appropriate to take to counselling.
