Franciane Weinhardt Conroy, BACP

Franciane Weinhardt Conroy offers straightforward, person-centred counselling rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and respects the courage it takes to start. Sessions focus on helping people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.

Franciane has six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She encourages an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and use practical ways to manage difficult emotions.

Her work often centres on attachment and codependency issues, family-of-origin concerns and problems around guilt, shame and isolation. She also supports people facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, infidelity and social anxiety. Young adult issues and multicultural concerns are included in her focus areas.

Sessions emphasise clear goals, small steps and building self-compassion. Franciane uses techniques from evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help clients notice patterns, try different responses and strengthen coping skills. She guides people towards clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.

If you speak English or Portuguese, she can work in either language. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire to help pair you with the right therapist, followed by scheduling according to availability.

How evidence-based approaches adapt to online counselling

Franciane uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. Cognitive-style approaches focus on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-informed methods help people process distressing experiences safely and work on emotional regulation skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Franciane will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust techniques to suit how someone learns and copes. Together they decide which methods feel most helpful and change course if something is not working.

For practical matters around online work, confirm the session formats available before booking since options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone take part from a quieter place, avoid commuting and schedule sessions around work or study commitments.
