About Shirley-Anne

Shirley-Anne Bingham is a counsellor and coach with seven years of full-time experience. She has worked in NHS and charity settings, helping people through anxiety, stress, bereavement and relationship breakdown. Shirley-Anne uses a person-centred, trauma-informed way of working that focuses on each person's priorities and pace.

She gives straightforward, practical support for life changes. That can mean talking through grief, navigating career pressures, or finding ways to cope with chronic illness.

Background and approach

She also has knowledge of trauma, neurodiversity, menopause, domestic abuse and workplace problems. Sessions are collaborative. Shirley-Anne checks in regularly about what is working and what is not.

Goals may shift as understanding deepens and new priorities emerge. Her style aims to be calm, non-judgemental and down-to-earth. People can expect a focus on understanding feelings, spotting patterns and trying small changes that fit everyday life.

Shirley-Anne will help you find ways to manage stress, build self-esteem and work through difficult decisions. She offers appointments in English and works from the United Kingdom. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

If you prefer a steady, person-centred approach, she can help you take the next step and plan what to focus on.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Shirley-Anne draws on person-centred and trauma-informed ways of working. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, understanding your priorities and helping you find your own solutions. It is useful for stress, confidence and making life decisions. Trauma-informed care pays attention to past distress and its effects, helping people manage strong emotions and feel steadier over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shirley-Anne will work with you to decide what methods fit your needs and goals. This is a collaborative step and she will review what is helping so the plan can change as you learn more about yourself.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let you talk face to face when that helps. Phone sessions are useful if you want a quieter interaction or need to use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy days.
