My name is Francis (he/they). I am a queer, trans, disabled, neurodivergent therapist based near Edinburgh. I offer online and telephone person-centred therapy and supervision informed by anti-oppressive practices such as the neurodiversity paradigm, intersectional feminism and disability justice.

My work is relational and trauma-informed. I support people with a range of common issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, work-place bullying, mental health issues, childhood trauma, chronic illness, self-esteem and issues with identity.

I am also experienced in areas considered more specialist such as:

  • Neurodivergence (including autism/ADHD/AuDHD, RSD, PDA, burnout, late diagnosis)
  • Disability, chronic health conditions, ME/CFS
  • Gender, sexuality, trans and non-binary identity, relationship diversity (polyamory, relationship anarchy, kink)
  • Non-diet and fat-positive approaches to food and body image - intuitive eating/health at every size
  • Complex/traumatic bereavements such as suicide, unexpected loss and multiple bereavements.

I offer single session, short-term and long-term therapy and I am very flexible in terms of commitment.

I have a lot of experience and enjoy working with other therapists and trainees.

I charge £55 for 60 minutes for both therapy and supervision.

I do not work with couples, under 16’s, and I don’t work with people in the Edinburgh area to maintain boundaries.

For more detailed information please check out my website. I currently have space for both clients and supervisees.
