Sheila Burrowes, BACP

Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor who uses an integrated approach to meet each person where they are. She works at a pace that suits the individual and mixes methods to match their situation and preferences.

She sees people for a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma and bereavement. She also supports those dealing with career strain, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges and major life changes.

In practice she draws on client-centred ways of working to keep conversations focused on what matters most to the client. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns and personal stories that shape current feelings and behaviour. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and calm during difficult times.

She has five years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. She works from the United Kingdom and can speak with people in English. International clients are also accepted through the matching process.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist's availability. Sheila aims to create a respectful space where people can talk things through and look for practical ways to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Sheila uses client-centred work and mindfulness as key parts of her approach. Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions; it is helpful for low mood, stress and relationship strain. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm, which suits anxiety and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, and will adapt methods as sessions unfold. This collaborative process makes sure the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

The biography does not list specific online session types, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people join from another location when in‑person meetings are difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can explain what to expect and help arrange a practical plan that suits everyday life.
