Francesca has recently joined the MIND team as a co-Facilitator of the BEYOND EXPERIENCE workshops. She is particularly interested in the powerful potential of altered states of consciousness when integrated into our everyday lives.  

Francesca is an existential analytic psychotherapist accredited by the UKCP and MBACP with an MSc in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Roehampton University. She works in private practice in London. Prior to this she worked within the NHS IAPT services and in school counselling services. 

Her practice starts with phenomenology which means to focus on the unique individual experience as it emerges, and is informed by existential and analytical ideas. The premise of therapy is to provide a space to explore all aspects of being without judgement which ties in well to the integration of psychedelic experiences and the exploration of altered states of consciousness through a multitude of practices.
