About Francesca
PACFA. 13 years' experience. Francesca Tondi works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting difficulties, and depression. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose.
Francesca describes her work in straightforward terms. She talks things through with clients and helps them identify patterns that keep problems going. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical conversation to make sense of feelings and choices. Her background in psychology informs how she listens and asks questions.
Francesca has particular experience with parent-child dynamics. She is a trained facilitator of Tuning into Teens and has worked with young people alongside her own experience as a parent. That combination has shaped how she approaches discussions about parenting and family relationships.
Sessions are guided by the concerns you bring. Francesca uses a mix of practical strategies and reflective work to address communication, behaviour, and emotional patterns. She aims to help people clarify what they want to change, and to take manageable steps toward that change.
Francesca offers counselling in English and Italian. She practises in Australia and does not accept international clients. The subscription-based session model is used, and the subscription can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work
Francesca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional and relationship difficulties. She draws on practical cognitive and behavioural strategies that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; these techniques are often used for anxiety, stress and depression. She also uses attachment-focused ways of working that look at how early relationships shape current closeness and communication, which can be useful for relationship and parenting concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Francesca will discuss your goals, symptoms and preferences and help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy continues.

It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions when needed, and make it simpler to include people who live in different areas.
