Francesca is an experienced clinical psychologist specialising in paediatrics, currently working at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.
Her values as a clinical psychologist are to work with young people and their families to empower them and equip them with skills, tools, strategies and insights to manage all aspects of their emotional wellbeing and mental health and gain confidence in navigating life’s challenges and hurdles.
Francesca is also hugely passionate about working with children and families with allergies, having previously led the psychology team at the Children’s Allergy Service at the Evelina Children’s Hospital, which is the largest allergy service in Europe.
Since then, having been shocked by how little psychology support is available throughout the UK for children with allergies, she has remained hugely involved in the field, building an ever-growing social media platform, connecting and supporting families living with allergies all over the country and also proudly working alongside with Dr Helen Allergy, providing psychological support and advice in her monthly membership.
Francesca is also on the board of the Sadie Bristow foundation as a specialist advisor and with our shared values hope that we can continue to our mission to support increasing families with the psychological management of their allergies.
