Hi I’m Francesca Myles
(BA hons, PGcert, MBACP, Associate BAAT, & Creative Counsellors CIC member)

Hi, I'm Francesca Myles (MBACP Registered | Associate BAAT | Creative Counsellors CIC)

I'm an Integrative Arts Counsellor offering online counselling for adults (18+) across the UK. My practice brings together therapy and creative arts — you don’t need to be artistic to access arts counselling, creativity can naturally reach what words sometimes can't.

I work with people navigating chronic illness and fatigue, neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ identity, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the things that feel hard to name. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and adapted to you — your pace, your body, your way of making sense of things.

With over 20 years of combined experience in health and social care and community arts, I bring both professional grounding and genuine understanding of what it means to live in a body or mind that the world doesn't always make easy.

This gives us a chance to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit.

If we decide to continue:

  • I’ll invite you to a more formal assessment session. We’ll gently explore your mental health history, your previous experiences of therapy, your hopes and goals.

  • Sessions last 1 hour, at £60 per session (£50 reduced rate 18–25 year olds, therapy students, and those receiving certain benefits.)

  • Most clients choose to meet weekly or fortnightly.

  • I offer both short or long term support As a starting point, I usually suggest booking six sessions.

What You Might Be Navigating

You might be here because you’re feeling:

  • Overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself from masking.

  • Life feels heavy or hard to face, and talking about it hasn’t been quite enough.

  • Exploring identity, relationships or coming out, and looking for an affirming, inclusive space for you to share without judgement.

  • Understanding your neurodivergent experiance or sensory differences. Whether you have a formal diagnosis or are finding words still for your expeirance, you’re welcome as you are.

  • Experiencing loneliness, past trauma, or life transitions such as redundancy, relocation, relationship changes or loss. The in-between spaces.

  • Struggling with emotions traditional talking therapies haven’t quite worked with.

  • Living with chronic health or non-visible conditions, in a body that carries more than words can hold.

You may want to:

  • Connect with yourself through creative expression

  • Explore emotions, patterns, and identity in a safe space

  • Receive support tailored to neurodivergence, chronic health, or unique life experiences

  • Build tools to cope with overwhelm, isolation, and transitions.

  • Use creative approached to help open up what words alone can’t always reach.

Testimonials

  • When I use creativity I feel calmer, focused, understood, connected to myself

  • It's Intuitive, emotion led, & spontaneously insightful

  • It gives my emotions a chance to shine through

  • Releasing, calming, and needed

  • I allow myself to notice when I need help and care - and ask for it.

  • It can be really empowering to know I can make changes in my life. I'm more kind to myself about the things that are actually really hard.
