About Franciane
Counsellor and BACP member with six years' experience, Franciane Weinhardt Conroy works in the United Kingdom with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and Portuguese and aims to make starting counselling straightforward for anyone who decides to ask for help.
Franciane focuses on clear, practical conversation. She helps people talk through what is worrying them and notices patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions look at feelings, thoughts and everyday behaviour so people can try new responses between meetings.
She has worked with a range of relationship concerns including infidelity, family of origin issues, attachment difficulties and codependency. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation and the effects of past trauma.
Her approach is informed by evidence-based therapeutic techniques and by six years of clinical experience in the UK. That experience includes helping people with guilt and shame, motivation and building self‑love and confidence. Franciane explains steps clearly and helps set small, practical goals to use outside sessions.
Sessions are carried out in a straightforward way, with plain language and short-term goals when useful. Before a first meeting she asks people to complete a short questionnaire to help match needs and plan the initial session. She does not accept international clients at this time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online counselling
Franciane draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One approach targets thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood by testing and changing unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioural experiments. Another approach looks at how early relationships affect current patterns, helping people understand attachment issues, codependency and family of origin concerns and how these affect present relationships.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options with the client, consider their goals and preferences, and agree a plan together. That plan can be reviewed as things change so the work stays practical and relevant.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules change. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical steps for joining sessions and which format will work best for each person.
