EXCELLENT Based on 3 reviews Posted on Google Emma ThomsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Francisco for a few weeks now and he has really helped me get over some problems. I was really lost and too anxious and lonely at work and socially. I felt I was drinking too much. Francisco really listened to me and helped me to understand what was important to me. I have started to get myself into a better place, and it’s a journey but one I want to do. Francisco really helped, can’t recommend him enough!Posted on Google RichardEagle##369 EagleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently started seeing Francisco at Fostering Change Counselling. I have struggled to manage my life after the unexpected loss of my son. Francisco has been a great help in encouraging me to focus on my life while still remembering my son. He introduced me to EMDR, which gave me quite a different and interesting view on processing and managing my emotions. By using EMDR, Francisco is helping me to release my anxiety and tension and to sleep better. This has really helped me to reflect on my loss, my life and where I go from here. I highly recommend Francisco for his counselling skills.Posted on Google Robert WyldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
