Book with FranciscoAbout Francisco
Francisco Fernandez Camenforte is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He works with issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, anger and work-related compassion fatigue. He also supports people navigating LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria and ADHD-related challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Francisco uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client at the centre of the work.
Background and approach
He treats people as the expert of their own story and focuses on listening, understanding and helping clients set their own goals. He aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings and try new ways of responding to problems. He also draws on solution-focused techniques to help people find practical steps forward.
That approach looks for small, achievable changes and builds on strengths already present in a person’s life. It can be useful for someone who wants clear, short-term goals alongside deeper exploration. Francisco has three years of professional experience and has worked in educational and community settings.
He has provided face-to-face and remote counselling and staffing on a helpline service. He works according to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, ethical framework. People choosing Francisco can expect collaborative sessions where their priorities guide the pace and focus.
He emphasises empowerment and emotional insight while helping clients identify practical steps they can try between meetings.

Person-centred and solution-focused support online
Francisco works from a person-centred perspective which means he listens carefully and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps people gain emotional insight, set their own goals and feel heard as they work through difficult feelings.He also uses solution-focused techniques that look for practical, small steps forward. This method concentrates on strengths and what is already working, which can help with stress, low mood and relationship problems where people want clear actions to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francisco will discuss options with each person and agree the mix of listening and practical steps that best fits their needs, goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
