Francesca was a very good listener and understood my concerns and made the counselling very easy.

So very supportive and approachable.

Francesca was wonderful - such a very good listener.

I valued the opportunity to talk through my anxieties with someone who listened and enabled me to feel safe and accepted.

Francesca was sensitive to my needs and vulnerabilities, patient and kind.

Francesca Walsh, Person-Centred Counsellor

Hi, I'm Francesca

I'm a person-centred therapist based in Cheshire, offering online therapy to adults and young people across the UK, and in-person sessions in Sandbach.

I believe everyone deserves a supportive, confidential space where they can speak openly and be met without judgement. I work alongside you, supporting you to explore your thoughts and feelings as you make sense of your experiences and the challenges you're facing.

I offer therapeutic support to adults and young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress or overwhelm, as well as challenges around self-esteem, relationships, or family life. I also work with people navigating loneliness, grief and loss, work-related pressures, and times of change or uncertainty.

You might be noticing…

These experiences are more common than you might think. You don't have to navigate them alone.

  • Feeling anxious or overwhelmed by everyday life
  • Struggling with low mood or motivation
  • Navigating a difficult transition in work, relationships, or identity
  • Finding it hard to talk to the people around you
  • Wanting space to understand yourself better
  • Carrying something you haven't been able to share

If any of this resonates, I'd be glad to hear from you.

How it works

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Here's what to expect. No surprises.

01

Get in touch

Arrange a free 10–15 minute introductory call, or choose a 50-minute session time if you're ready.

02

Your first session

We’ll meet online by video call or telephone, or in person in Sandbach, for 50 minutes.

Ongoing support

If we're a good fit, we can continue meeting regularly. Weekly sessions often work best but we’ll find what suits you.

My approach

I work in a person-centred way, holding the belief that you are the expert on your own life.

Our work together is collaborative and led by you, shaped around what feels most important in the moment.

I aim to offer a space where you can think out loud, explore difficult feelings, and develop your own understanding, with the emphasis on you feeling heard, understood, and able to be yourself.
