About Sheila

Sheila Burrowes works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns using a mix of approaches that fit each person. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience in practice.

She sees clients as individuals and adapts methods to suit their pace and situation. Sessions focus on talking things through, noticing patterns in relationships and responses, and building practical ways to cope with day-to-day pressures. Sheila also addresses issues such as addictions, grief, intimacy problems and parenting strain.

Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what each person brings to sessions and Psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect current feelings. Narrative techniques help people separate themselves from difficult stories, and Imago Relationship Therapy provides specific ways to improve communication with a partner.

Sheila has experience supporting people with complex concerns, including trauma and abuse, bipolar mood challenges, bereavement and issues linked to ageing or long-term illness. She also helps with practical relationship problems such as infidelity, separation and blended family adjustments.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Practical matters such as session cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online booking flow.

How Sheila's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to what the person brings and following their pace, which helps build trust and clarify priorities. It works well for issues like low self-esteem, depression and general life stress.

Imago Relationship Therapy offers practical communication techniques for partners. It helps people highlight patterns in interactions and practice different ways of talking about difficult topics.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills that can reduce rumination and help manage anxiety and cravings in addictions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will discuss which methods might suit a person's aims and preferences and they will decide together on the best way forward.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If there are practical needs such as lower bandwidth or a preference not to use video, mention these when arranging sessions so a suitable format can be agreed.
