Francois Hunter

My practice is grounded in integrative counselling, which allows me to adapt our work together to suit your individual needs. I draw from a blend of modalities including person-centred, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). This means we can explore your present-day experiences, the roots of your emotional patterns, and how your thoughts and behaviours are shaped — all at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.

I have worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds, with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ wellbeing, identity exploration, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety, and grief. As someone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community, I bring lived experience and cultural sensitivity to my work — offering a therapeutic relationship that affirms, celebrates, and respects your identity.

I believe the relationship we build together is at the heart of meaningful therapeutic work. I strive to create a space that feels genuine, compassionate, and non-judgemental, where you can speak freely and be truly heard — perhaps for the first time.

Our work together is collaborative. You are the expert on your own life — I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of your story, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and self-acceptance.
