About Francesca
Francesca Dolan Wills is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She focuses on grief, stress, anxiety, life changes and a broad range of family and career concerns. Francesca has worked in hospice care, a pregnancy loss charity, NHS services and employee support programmes, and now combines private practice with charity work.
She spent eight years before qualifying as a therapist working as a work and employment coach for the UK government. That background informs her approach to career matters and practical life changes. Her clinical roles have also included supporting people through cancer-related challenges and offering help within employee assistance programmes for organisations such as the police.
Francesca uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's own pace and perspective. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship patterns and Mindfulness Therapy to develop present-moment coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want short-term, goal-oriented work.
Sessions include talking through feelings around loss, exploring stress and anxiety, and addressing parenting or blended-family concerns. She has experience with fertility and pregnancy loss, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and relationship and intimacy-related difficulties.
Francesca works with people from a range of religious and cultural backgrounds. She emphasises straightforward conversation, practical tools and listening that aims to help people notice what matters and what helps next.

How Francesca uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Francesca uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person's lead, listening for what matters most and helping clients notice their own priorities. This approach supports issues like grief, stress and life transitions by focusing on the client's experience and timing.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at how people relate and connect, which can help with relationship patterns, intimacy concerns and communicating needs. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a practical way to reduce stress and manage anxiety by building simple attention and breathing skills.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative step. Francesca works with each person to agree which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as the work progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to travel for appointments. Registered or accredited professionals like Francesca can also use online sessions to continue consistent support when circumstances change.
