OAK TREE THERAPY

Francesca Gerlinger BEd (Hons.); Dipl. Paed.

Originally from Austria, I am working as a counsellor and psychotherapist in private practice. I am a fully qualified teacher with over 7 years’ experience of personal development in groups and training in the UK and across Europe. Over the years I have trained in Psychotherapy, Life-Coaching, NLP and Meditation.

My areas of interest and expertise include relationship difficulties, parenting skills, anxiety, eating disorders, depression, domestic abuse, and issues around self-esteem.

I see my therapeutic role as two-fold; as facilitating clients to develop personal insight whilst also providing them with the tools to change and to realize their individual goals.

I believe that every person is able to live a happy, successful and fulfilled life.
