Therapy services with Francesca Rothera
A Safe Space to Explore and Heal
Life can feel overwhelming at times - loss, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, or just feeling stuck can leave us unsure where to turn. Therapy offers a space to be heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll explore you. We’ll understand how your experiences have shaped you, and which beliefs or behaviours might be preventing you from feeling your true self. We will work together towards a change that feels meaningful and manageable for you.
Who I work with
I offer therapy for adults seeking support with:
Anxiety, stress or overwhelm
Depression or low mood
Loss, grief and bereavement
Trauma and past experiences
Relationship challenges
Life transitions and self-exploration
I work with individuals who want a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space to reflect, process, and grow. I also offer online therapy sessions across the UK, making it easier to access support wherever you are.
How I work
Therapy is a collaborative journey. My approach is warm, empathetic, and tailored to you. Key aspects include:
Our relationship - together, we build trust, respect, and understanding. You are the expert in your own life.
Your goals - whether you want to process emotions, change patterns, or navigate difficult life stages, we set goals that feel achievable and relevant
Session format - sessions are typically 60 minutes, either in person or online via zoom
What to expect
When you come for therapy you can expect:
A welcoming and safe space to share openly
Gentle exploration of your thoughts, feelings and experiences
Practical strategies to help you manage day to day challenges
Support to understand patterns and create meaningful change
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. Therapy is a place to explore your thoughts at your own pace.
FAQ’s
Q: how many sessions will I need?
A: it really depends on what your goal of therapy is. If your goal is short term relief of distress, then that can usually be resolved in 6-12 sessions. However, if you are looking to explore certain aspects of your life and yourself, there is no time limit to this, it is under your control how long you would like to spend talking.
Q: Can I do online and in person sessions?
A: Yes. If a hybrid structure works better for you, some weekly sessions can be in person and others can be online
Q: How do I pay?
A: sessions are paid for via bank transfer. Some clients prefer to pay session by session, other clients prefer to make block payments at the start of each month.
