About me

Francesca olivia

Frankie (HCPC Registered Psychotherapist) is a integrative therapist and content creator specialising in self-love, attachment, and trauma recovery. Her therapeutic approach draws from Drama Psychotherapy, EMDR, IFS, somatic practices, and neuroscience - offering a warm, embodied, and relational space for healing.

Frankie runs a thriving private practice supporting adults through relational trauma, anxiety, and low self-worth. Her work is rooted in helping people understand their nervous systems, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build healthier, more secure relationships - both with themselves and others.

Frankie’s experience includes over 10 years of therapeutic work across a wide range of settings, including NHS staff navigating challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic, University wellbeing services (Chester and Liverpool), and corporate private clients. She has delivered workshops for organisations such as Lloyds TSB and Colony Co-Working, and has worked within charities, care settings, educational environments, and with looked-after children - with a particular focus on attachment-based support. Her approach is always trauma-informed and person-centred. Frankie’s integrative practice blends EMDR, creative psychotherapy, embodiment work, and neuroscience, with a focus on changing neural pathways through the brain-body connection. She specialises in attachment, anxiety, and relational trauma, helping clients reconnect with inner safety and a stronger sense of self.

Alongside her one-to-one work, Frankie creates compassionate and accessible content for her community of over 200,000 followers on Instagram (@frankiestherapy), where she shares insights on boundaries, attachment, emotional healing, and self-worth. She also hosts monthly self-love workshops and masterclasses for individuals seeking deeper connection and healing.

Frankie is passionate about making therapy feel human, empowering, and grounded in real-life connection - blending evidence-based approaches with heartfelt support, always led by the belief that healing happens in relationship.
