My name is Francine Mabondo. I was born and raised in Paris, France, and come from a dual heritage. Growing up, I experienced both personal and systemic trauma. As a young adult, I struggled with depression, anxiety, and questions of identity. If you are finding life overwhelming, I want you to know that I understand how difficult it can be to feel lost, disconnected, or weighed down by emotional pain. I also know that recovery is possible.

I have lived in the UK for the past 25 years, where I first developed a career in the arts before retraining as a psychotherapist. While my personal experiences inspired this path, it is my professional training over the last decade that has equipped me to understand the complexity of psychological distress and support others safely and effectively. Through rigorous training, supervised clinical practice, and ongoing professional development, I have developed the knowledge and skills to help people make sense of their experiences, develop new ways of relating to themselves and others, and create lasting change.

Today, I am a UKCP-registered Integrative Psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling to adults in London and online and in English or French. I provide a warm, collaborative, and evidence-informed therapeutic space where we can explore the challenges you are facing and work towards meaningful and lasting change.

You can find more information about how I work here. Please contact me to discuss your needs. I very much look forward to working with you.
