Hi! My name is Francesca, a UK-based somatic trauma therapist and eco-somatic practitioner offering trauma-informed counselling and supervision for counsellors. My practice integrates feminist theories, ecotherapy, and body-based approaches to trauma healing. I work online with clients across the UK and internationally, and in person from my office in Glasgow.
You are welcome to look around my website, and if you feel drawn to connect, get in touch.
I am a Glasgow-based somatic trauma therapist and counsellor offering specialised therapy and clinical supervision in-person, online, and outdoors. Sessions are available from my private office or within a supportive urban park setting in Glasgow, and online throughout the UK and Europe.
The best way to get started is to email me with the service you are enquiring about. I will respond by the following working Monday (please see the footer for my working hours) to arrange a free introductory Zoom consultation: 15 minutes for therapy enquiries and 30 minutes for supervision.
This initial call offers a space for us to briefly meet, discuss your needs, and consider whether we are a good fit to work together. If it feels right, we can arrange your first appointment during the call. I typically offer appointments within two weeks.
Alongside my clinical work, I offer a range of learning and reflective spaces exploring mental health, belonging, and body-based practice. My podcast, We are here, too: mental health abroad, together with my blog and newsletter, Rooted in Motion, are freely available resources where I share insights on somatic healing, nature connection, and the politics of belonging.
For those seeking deeper professional or experiential learning, I provide paid training and classes in outdoor therapy, somatic therapy, and eco-somatic approaches for therapists, practitioners, and helping professionals.
I am committed to offering an inclusive and trauma-informed therapy practice. This means continually reflecting on my own biases, assumptions, and privileges while creating space for openness, accountability, and meaningful dialogue within both my professional and personal life.
I work in a culturally sensitive and intersectional way, recognising that our bodies exist within social and political contexts and may be shaped by experiences of marginalisation, prejudice, or systemic violence.
In our work together, I will be attentive to the language you use to describe yourself and your experiences, allowing your words to guide our shared understanding. Whether we meet in my therapy room, online or outdoors, we will also consider how the physical environment can best support your comfort, safety, and sense of ease.
