Welcome to Francois Hunter CounsellinG

 

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite yourself lately?

 

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what’s going on for you.

You might be here because:

  • You’re overthinking everything and can’t switch off

  • You feel anxious, low, or emotionally overwhelmed

  • You’ve lost a sense of who you are or what you want

  • You’re carrying things from the past that still affect you now

  • You struggle to open up, even to the people closest to you

  • You’re tired of coping alone but unsure where to start

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone and you don’t have to keep holding it all by yourself.

How Counselling can help

 

Therapy isn’t about being “fixed”, it’s about being understood.

Together, we can:

  • Make sense of what you’re feeling and why

  • Explore patterns that keep showing up in your life

  • Build a more compassionate relationship with yourself

  • Help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control

  • Create space for you to be fully yourself

This is your space, at your pace.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you.

I draw from person-centred, trauma-informed, and somatic approaches, but more importantly, I focus on creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected.

A bit About Me

Hello, I’m Francois (he/him).

 

I believe therapy is where you can let go and just be.
A space to soften, breathe, and embrace your humanity.

It’s a place to explore yourself with curiosity, where healing isn’t about fixing but reconnecting with what’s already there.

My passion for counselling stems from my life experiences. I know feeling lost, questioning identity, and carrying unacknowledged pain. I understand navigating a world that often lacks sensitivity and depth. These experiences shape my grounded, compassionate approach to each story.

My trauma-informed, somatic, and person-centered approach means I listen not just to your words, but to your body’s messages. Healing occurs when both mind and body feel safe to be heard.

I work integratively, tailoring therapy to you rather than fitting you into a method. Our process is gentle, collaborative, and adaptive, unfolding at your pace.

I am a registered member of NCPS and COSCA, currently pursuing certification with the ACCPH.

Clients often feel deeply seen and understood, describing therapy as a blend of comfort and growth, a space for rest and gentle change.

Common themes I support include:

  • Anxiety, stress, trauma, and overwhelm

  • Emotional numbness, shutdown, and dissociation

  • Self-esteem and confidence

  • Grief, loss, and transitions

  • Inner child work and attachment wounds

  • Identity exploration and meaning

  • Relationship patterns and emotional connections

  • LGBTQIA+ identity, wellbeing, and belonging

If this resonates, feel free to reach out.
Whether facing major changes or subtle discomfort, you don’t need it all figured out to start.

You are not defined by your past.
You are shaped by how you grow, heal, and meet yourself with compassion.

This work isn’t about quick fixes.
It’s about trust, safety, honesty,
and creating space for you to be fully yourself.

We take that journey gently,
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."
