About Shelley

Shelley Shoaib Le Breton is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She welcomes conversations about relationships, career strain, parenting pressures and life changes. Shelley uses a warm, person-focused style to help people find clearer steps forward.

Shelley draws on four years of therapy practice alongside many more years supporting neurodiverse people as an educator. That background informs how she notices communication styles and different ways of coping.

Background and approach

She works with common concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, anger and intimacy-related issues. Her approach is influenced by attachment-based work and client-centred listening. That means sessions begin by hearing what matters most to the person and building from there.

Shelley also uses ideas from cognitive behavioural work and psychodynamic thinking when they help to make sense of patterns. Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect space to talk, reflections that name patterns, and simple tools to try between meetings.

Shelley aims to balance understanding with steps that support change. She practises in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are available in English and can be done online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

To begin people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Ways of working Shelley names

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

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current needs and reactions, and in sessions Shelley helps people spot patterns in how they seek connection and respond to stress. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, so conversations online start with what matters most to the individual and follow their pace. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shelley treats this as a collaborative process and will explore what feels most helpful as therapy progresses. Goals, preferences and how someone responds to different techniques guide the plan rather than a fixed method.

Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer, conversational sessions where non-verbal cues help the discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quiet, shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want quick, regular contact between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
