Fran is a lovely person and has given me so much support during my time on BetterHelp. She is caring, attentive and so down to earth, which really helped at the beginning when we were building our trust in each other. Fran reaches out to me regularly and always wants to help me address any concerns that I have. Without a doubt she had gone above and beyond what I expected from signing up to BetterHelp and for that I cannot thank her enough. Thank you Fran!!!

Francesca is very sensitive and intuitive. She is easy to talk with and I have felt relaxed and able to open up when talking with her.
I have only just begun therapy but I feel very positive about the experience I have had so far and confident that she will help me progress.
