About Sheila

Sheila Bagshaw has seven years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and relationship challenges. Sheila also supports those coping with grief, life changes, low self esteem and confidence issues.

Sheila uses a respectful and compassionate approach. She tailors conversations and the plan for therapy to fit each person's needs.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward so people can use what they learn between meetings. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting and ADHD, plus related areas such as communication problems, commitment worries and divorce or separation. She also offers support around body image, caregiver stress, addiction and the emotional impact of cancer.

Sessions begin with simple conversations to identify priorities and practical goals. Sheila blends client-centred listening with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people notice what matters and try manageable changes. The pace is set by the person attending therapy.

Sheila speaks English and carries out sessions online and by phone or text. If someone is ready to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then they arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online counselling

Sheila uses client-centred therapy to create a space where the person feels heard and their priorities come first. This approach focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions, which can help with self esteem, relationships and coping with life changes.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple awareness skills. Mindfulness helps with stress and anxiety by training attention and noticing physical and emotional responses in the moment. Solution-focused therapy is used to set clear, short-term goals and try small changes that build forward momentum, which many find useful for practical issues and decision points.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sheila discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they choose what to try first. This collaborative process lets the therapy change as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text suit short check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
