About Sheila
Sheila Burrowes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, addictions, grief and anger. Sheila also supports people facing life changes, career pressures and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.
She uses a person-focused approach, treating each client as an individual and adapting methods to suit their situation. Sessions move at a pace the client is comfortable with. Conversations aim to make problems easier to talk about and to find practical ways to manage feelings and reactions.
Sheila blends approaches rather than using a single method. She draws on client-centred listening to understand what matters, narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves, and mindfulness techniques to help with stress and hot moments. Psychodynamic thinking can also be used to look at longer-standing patterns when helpful.
People come to Sheila for a mix of issues. That can mean working on relationship difficulties, coping with loss, reducing substance use, or managing anger and control issues that affect daily life. She also addresses concerns such as blended family dynamics, bereavement linked to cancer, and isolation or loneliness.
Sheila offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Practical steps to start include a short questionnaire and arranging an initial session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used online and what they do
Sheila often uses Client‑Centred Therapy in sessions. That approach focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can find their own solutions and make sense of difficult feelings. It helps with low mood, self‑esteem and the stress that drives angry reactions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice bodily reactions and thought patterns. Simple mindfulness practices can reduce the speed of emotional reactions and make it easier to choose a response instead of losing temper. Narrative Therapy is used too, which looks at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape behaviour and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree on which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as the work progresses.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. They also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or use a phone when bandwidth is limited, depending on what works best for practical life arrangements.
