Francesca Thirlwell

I have two masters level qualifications in Psychotherapy and Human Resources and have studied psychology at degree level. I am a member of CIPD, EMCC and the BACP and work to their standards and ethical guidelines in all that I do. My previous experience includes counselling adults and teenagers in a range of settings dealing with issues including anxiety, depression, work- related stress, childhood trauma, grief, relationship issues.

Alongside my private practice I currently work as a therapist for a counselling organisation in Harrogate. 

Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Limited evening sessions available . 

I am an experienced registered psychotherapist and coach, working with a variety of mental health issues, such as anxiety, grief, stress and depression. I work with clients in a collaborative and empathetic way, to explore their feelings in a confidential space. This supportive environment allows you to gain personal insights and an understanding of yourself so you can move forwards in a way that feels right for you.  I work flexibly and adapt the work for each client, depending on what you wish to explore and how many sessions you require.

I am qualified to masters level as an Integrated Psychotherapist.  In practice this means I work from a relational, person centered perspective, creating a non-judgmental space for you to bring your whole self and express yourself openly. However, I also apply models from psychodynamic and attachment theories and will use cognitive behavioural therapy techniques where appropriate.

I offer new clients a free 15 minute initial telephone/video consultation to see if we can work together.  This session allows you to ask any questions you have and I can talk you through the therapy that I offer.  You can then decide whether you wish to book further sessions. 

Ongoing sessions for individuals are £60 per session. Each session is 50 minutes.  Currently I have availability for online sessions only.

If you would like to get in touch please email me and we can then arrange an initial phone or video call.
