About Francoise
Francoise Nicoloff works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with big life changes, grief, anger and career uncertainty. Money and financial issues are listed among her focus areas, along with ADHD and compassion fatigue. She is fluent in English and French and has practised in Australia for over 40 years.
Francoise takes a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. She listens first, then shapes a plan that fits each person's needs. Conversations are practical and aimed at small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. She emphasises compassion and sensitivity while helping clients build confidence and motivation.
Her work draws on client-centred methods and solution-focused ideas to clarify goals and identify immediate steps. Mindfulness techniques are used to manage stress and improve sleep. Trauma-focused approaches are applied when past events continue to affect daily life.
Francoise adapts what she does to the person in front of her, combining talking, practical strategies and short exercises. She helps people sort priorities, handle relationship tensions, and find ways to manage money-related worry alongside other concerns. The first meeting focuses on understanding your situation and deciding the next steps together.
She holds AHPRA credentials and brings four decades of experience to each session. If you prefer to speak in French that option is available. To begin, follow the site's intake steps to match and schedule a time.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Francoise works from a client-centred stance that puts the person's needs and priorities first. That means sessions are led by what matters to you, with the therapist listening carefully and shaping the conversation to fit your goals.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce stress, improve sleep and bring attention back to the present moment. These are short, practical exercises you can use between sessions to manage anxiety and overwhelm.
Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, achievable steps toward change. This approach suits people who want concrete actions to try right away and a clear way to measure progress.
Finding the right therapy approach is part of the work. Francoise will discuss options with you and help decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as your situation evolves.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to confirm which session formats are available, please check the booking details before scheduling. Online sessions can make it simpler to follow up between meetings, try mindfulness practices during the week, and keep therapy aligned with everyday life.
