About Franciane
Franciane Weinhardt Conroy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, and depression. Franciane speaks English and Portuguese and asks clients to use the site matching process to start a first session.
She focuses on everyday struggles that can leave someone carrying guilt or shame. Her work includes attachment issues, codependency, family of origin problems, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and young adult concerns. She also supports people facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and multicultural challenges.
In sessions she creates a straightforward space for talking through thoughts and feelings without judgement. She encourages clear conversation about what led to current struggles and what the person wants to change. Sessions aim to break down difficult feelings into manageable steps and to build practical coping strategies.
Franciane draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns in their relationships and reactions. She collaborates with clients to identify unhelpful cycles linked to family, faith, or culture, and looks at concrete ways to shift them. The work can include addressing guilt and shame as they show up in daily life.
For logistics, Franciane asks people to use the site's online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. She does not accept international clients and notes that session costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Franciane works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and changing behaviours. One common approach looks at attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current responses; this helps when guilt or shame link back to family roles or expectations. Another approach targets symptoms of anxiety and panic by teaching practical coping skills and short behavioural experiments to reduce avoidance and build confidence.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences, and then suggest techniques that fit your situation. Together you can adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the methods stay useful and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits into daily life. It can also give flexibility around using video, audio, or quieter arrangements depending on what helps the person engage most effectively.
