Matteo Francescon, MSc, UKCP Accredited Psychotherapist and Counsellor

I am a psychotherapist, based in Bristol. I currently work at the University of Bristol full-time in the student counselling service and I'm not seeing clients privately.

I was born near Torino in Northern Italy. I started university in Torino, and continued at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France. I was fascinated by the ancient world and studied Ancient and Medieval History, Latin and Philosophy. After my studies, I started to work for youth organizations promoting inclusion for disadvantaged young people. This also brought me to work in Luxembourg for a while.

When I moved to the UK, I started my training to become a counsellor first, and then a psychotherapist. In London and Bristol I worked for different organizations, mainly with children and young people.
