Welcome to Francois Hunter Counselling
Welcome, and thank you for being here.
Life is a journey filled with joys, challenges, and moments that shape who we are.
Taking the step to seek support isn’t always easy, and I deeply admire your courage in starting this process.
In my practice, you’ll find a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment.
This is your space to be honest, curious, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
I support adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, overwhelm, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions, attachment struggles, and questions of meaning and purpose.
As a integrative person-centred counsellor, I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.
Together, we’ll discover what works best for you, drawing on humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, and relational approaches to foster your growth and wellbeing.
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and have experience supporting individuals exploring gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity.
No matter who you are, you will always find respect, kindness, and understanding here.
Therapy isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about connection, self-awareness, and creating a life that feels authentic to you.
Thank you for visiting. To learn more or book a session, please explore the site or connect with me through the Contact page.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
Francois.
About Me
Hello, I’m Francois (he/him) - a counsellor who believes therapy is a space to let go of holding everything together.
It’s a place to soften, embrace your true self, and explore your inner world with curiosity, not judgment.
My passion for counselling stems from my own life challenges.
I know what it’s like to feel lost, question your identity or purpose, and carry unresolved pain.
I also understand navigating a world that doesn’t always embrace difference.
This shapes my warm, empathetic, and respectful approach to therapy.
You won’t find quick fixes but a space of trust, honesty, and commitment to your growth and wellbeing.
My approach is person-centred and my practice is integrative, drawing from various modalities to suit your needs. I work collaboratively and adaptively, staying present.
Clients often share that they feel truly seen and understood, describing our work as a place for both comfort and growth.

If this resonates, I invite you to reach out.
Whether you’re navigating big changes or quiet discomfort, you are welcome here as you are.
You are not defined by what happened to you.
You are defined by how you grow and who you choose to become.
Let’s take this journey together.
"Working with you has been life-changing. I came in feeling overwhelmed and stuck, and I’ve left with a sense of clarity and self-acceptance I never thought possible. Thank you for creating a space where I felt truly heard."
"I was nervous to start , but from our first session, I felt safe and supported. Your warmth, compassion, and insight helped me understand patterns I’d been carrying for years. I’ve grown so much in such a short time."
"Our sessions helped me reconnect with myself. You never rushed me, never judged — just gently guided me to find my own answers. I’ve gained tools that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life."
