Meet the supervisor
My name is Francesca. I am a person-centred counsellor, supervisor and trainer.
I work online and outdoors in urban parks in Glasgow, Scotland.
I have lived in the UK for ten years, after living in other parts of Europe before settling in Scotland. I took my diploma in counselling and psychotherapy at Strathclyde University, learning about the counselling profession in English.
I have explored who I am as a person when living between two languages (where the two languages have not always been Italian and English) and identities. Figuring out how being me, a foreigner, intersects with other forms of oppression, privilege and power dynamics, especially in post-Brexit Britain. I bring this to my work as a counsellor, supervisor and trainer.

What to expect
In group supervision, learning comes in different forms: offering and receiving feedback, sharing information, and listening to colleagues’ ways of working when dealing with their struggles. Group supervision is an opportunity to take up space and appreciate the contribution you can offer others whilst gaining insight into your boundaries and limitations when sharing space.
You don’t have to do this work in isolation! Communities play an important role in our overall health, by giving us a sense of belonging and empowerment. Group supervision is offered around a shared interest with like-minded people, making it an enjoyable experience.
