About Francois

Hi, I’m Francois (he/him) — a counsellor who believes that therapy is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. It’s a space to soften, to be real, and to meet yourself with curiosity rather than judgment.

My passion for counselling is deeply rooted in my own life experiences.

I know what it feels like to feel lost—questioning your purpose, your identity, and carrying the weight of past pain.

My clients often bring struggles with self-esteem, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, grief, and questions around meaning and identity. I also work closely with early attachment wounds and inner child processes — helping people understand how their past may be quietly shaping their present.

As a gay man, I know what it’s like to navigate a world that hasn’t always made space for difference. That lived experience informs how I show up as a therapist: with warmth, openness, and a deep respect for each person’s truth. You won’t find quick fixes here. What you will find is a relationship built on trust, honesty, and a shared commitment to your growth.

My therapeutic style is Integrative, which means I draw from a range of approaches — including humanistic, relational, and Gestalt theories — to meet your unique needs. I work in a way that is collaborative, flexible, and grounded in the present moment. Together, we might explore how you relate to others, how you carry emotion in your body, or how long-held patterns are affecting your life today — not to pathologise, but to make space for understanding and change.

Clients often tell me they feel seen in ways they haven’t before. That therapy with me feels like both a soft place to land and a space to stretch into something new. Sometimes that involves sitting with grief or untangling shame. Sometimes it means learning to hear your own voice again — and trusting it.

If any of this resonates, please feel free to reach out.  Whether you're in the middle of a big life shift or simply feeling the quiet ache of something not quite right, you’re welcome here — just as you are.

You are not defined by what happened to you. You are defined by what you choose to become.

Let’s embark on this journey together...
