About Francoise
Francoise Nicoloff is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with over 40 years of professional experience in Australia. She speaks English and French and works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, parenting concerns and life changes.
She helps people with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She also supports those dealing with grief, career uncertainty and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse. Relationship and family problems, including family of origin issues, are within her scope of practice.
Francoise uses conversational, person-focused sessions. She listens, asks practical questions and helps people set clear steps to try between meetings. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are part of how she works, alongside trauma-focused methods when past events need attention.
Her approach aims to help clients notice patterns, try small changes and build skills for managing strong feelings like anger or impulsivity. She can also address attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues and mood disorders in straightforward terms.
Francoise has experience supporting people with ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, as well as issues such as domestic violence, immigration stress and financial worries. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and will adapt the pace to each person’s needs.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. It helps when someone wants practical conversation about reactions, relationships and everyday choices. Sessions are guided by the person’s concerns rather than a fixed script.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and grounding practices. It is useful for managing stress, anxiety, sleeping problems and strong emotions like anger by building awareness of body sensations and thought patterns.
She sees finding the right approach as a collaborative step. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, using shorter check-ins when needed, and removing travel time. These features can make it easier to keep regular appointments and practise strategies between meetings.
