Francesca Di Genova
Practical, listening-led therapy for everyday struggles
About Francesca
Francesca Di Genova uses a blend of client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people navigate difficult periods. She speaks English and Italian and works from the United Kingdom. Francesca has eight years of experience in counselling and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions.
She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. In sessions she listens closely and helps people identify the thoughts and patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Work often focuses on small, practical steps that make daily life easier. Francesca supports people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief and low self-esteem.
She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related worries, addictions, sleeping problems and career stress. Additional focus areas include avoidant personality, feelings of emptiness, midlife transitions, social anxiety and phobia, and compassion fatigue. Her use of cognitive behavioural ideas makes it easier to spot links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
The client-centred side of her work places importance on the therapeutic relationship and on being heard. Together this means sessions balance practical tools with a supportive, listening approach. People typically work with Francesca by choosing the format that fits their life, then focusing on clear goals and manageable changes.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people regain confidence and cope better day to day.

How Francesca uses CBT and client-centred work online
Francesca uses client-centred therapy to make sure conversations feel personal and respectful. This approach focuses on listening, understanding each person's view and building a trustworthy working relationship. It helps when people need to be heard and want a steady, supportive space to talk.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression or panic. CBT involves noticing thoughts, testing them and trying small behavioural changes. It is helpful for problems like panic attacks, social anxiety and sleep difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Francesca will discuss goals and preferences and together decide whether more client-centred support, CBT techniques or a combination will help best. That collaboration helps shape each plan and keeps the focus practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available. Live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options provide flexibility so people can work on goals in ways that fit their daily routines.
