About Sheila

Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor who works in a client-centred way. She focuses on what each person brings and adapts sessions to their needs. Sheila has five years of practice and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the BACP.

Sheila helps people with common pressures like stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with depression, grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns. Relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains and problems around career change are other areas she addresses.

Background and approach

Her approach mixes talking therapies and mindfulness practices. Sessions aim to give people space to tell their story and notice unhelpful patterns. Sheila draws on psychodynamic ideas and narrative methods to help people understand their feelings and choices.

Therapy is paced to the person. Sheila works to create a steady, thoughtful environment so people can explore difficult subjects. Parents reading this will find clear, everyday language and a practical focus in sessions.

Sheila offers online options for people across the United Kingdom and beyond. She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to therapist availability.

Ways of working Sheila names

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

Therapy approaches and online options that fit your life

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, helping people feel heard and make choices about change. This approach is useful for stress, low mood and building self-esteem.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It helps with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes by training people to notice thoughts and feelings without immediately acting on them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sheila will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together, based on what the person wants to achieve and how they prefer to engage. The style can be adapted as needs evolve so the work stays relevant.

Online sessions bring practical benefits for many people. Video calls let the counsellor and client use visual cues similar to face-to-face meetings. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or people who do better writing than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to access registered or accredited professionals even when distance would otherwise be a barrier.
