About Francoise
Francoise Nicoloff is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and has more than 40 years of professional experience. She speaks English and French and works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression and life change. Her practice also covers relationship strains, grief, sleep problems and symptoms related to mood disorders.
Francoise keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people notice what’s happening now and test small changes that can make daily life easier.
People who come because parenting feels heavy will find practical discussion about routines, boundaries and managing overwhelm. For those facing trauma or abuse history she integrates trauma-focused approaches aimed at stabilising the present and building coping skills rather than rushing into memory work.
Her background spans clinical work across varied settings over four decades. That experience shapes a calm, paced style that values clarity and simple steps. She speaks with clients about what they want to get from sessions and how progress will be noticed.
Francoise asks new clients to use the online matching and booking process to arrange a first meeting. She notes that subscription fees apply and can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted; sessions are offered in English and French.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows what the client brings to each session. This helps with parenting worries, self-esteem and problems that feel immediate. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It can help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems by offering simple tools to use between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francoise will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the situation. That collaborative process may combine client-centred listening, mindfulness exercises and solution-focused tasks for small, practical change. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting.Areas of focus
