About Sheila
Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a client-centred approach to work at each person’s pace. She brings five years of experience and aims to tailor sessions to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Sheila speaks English and welcomes international clients.
She sees people for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She also offers support around addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and parenting strains. Additional areas she addresses include ageing and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, cancer-related concerns and co-morbidity matters.
Her practice draws on Imago relationship ideas to look at how patterns shape partnerships, and on mindfulness techniques to help manage strong feelings in the moment. Narrative and psychodynamic approaches are used when it helps to understand life stories and recurring themes that influence current behaviour.
Sessions are described as individualised, with emphasis on listening and responding to what the client brings. Sheila aims to help people find ways to cope with life changes, build self-esteem and repair or understand relationship difficulties. She works with the pace that feels right for each person.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP, and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering attentive listening and space to set the pace. Online work using this approach aims to follow the client’s priorities and build trust through steady, client-led conversations.Imago Relationship Therapy explores patterns in partnerships and helps partners notice and shift those patterns. When used online it supports couples or individuals to identify repeating dynamics and practise new ways of relating between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods seem most useful for your goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and adjustments are made together.
The practical benefits of online sessions include greater flexibility to fit therapy into a busy week and reduced travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular appointments around work and family commitments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which options are available before booking so you know what will suit your day-to-day needs.
