About Shelley

Shelley Wilman brings 30 years of professional practice in the United Kingdom to her counselling work. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and bases her practice on the view that no single method fits everyone. Shelley meets people where they are and helps them talk through what is worrying them now.

She often helps with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, problems with self-esteem, and difficulties with intimacy and relationships.

Background and approach

Shelley uses a mix of approaches to respond to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula. Sessions are conversational and practical. Shelley listens to the story you bring and works with you to identify manageable steps forward.

She will introduce techniques from cognitive behavioural work when useful and can use trauma-focused methods such as EMDR for those who have been through distressing events. Her practice also covers issues like anger, isolation, body image concerns, abandonment and communication problems.

Shelley helps people facing life changes such as separation, illness or questions about gender identity to make sense of their feelings and decide what they want to do next. People can expect a collaborative approach where their experience guides the work. Shelley aims to build understanding and support the choices clients make about change.

Practical plans and short-term goals are used when they fit the person’s aims.

How Shelley’s approaches work online

Client-Centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens and reflects so the client can find their own answers; this approach suits people wanting a supportive, non-directive space.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses short practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety or low mood and to build coping skills.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories. It often involves guided attention and structured steps to reduce the emotional intensity of those memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shelley will talk through options and collaborate with the client to find what fits their goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal connection. Phone sessions work well when video would be difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments.
