Sheila Burrowes, BACP

Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor who uses an integrated approach to help people tackle everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way. She works with individuals and couples and adapts techniques to each person. Sheila explains things plainly and moves at a pace that feels comfortable for the client.

Sheila focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, grief and trauma. Other areas she addresses include parenting challenges, self-esteem, anger and coping with life changes.

Her background includes five years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sheila draws on a mix of approaches to suit what someone needs in the moment rather than following a single method.

In sessions she may use client-centred listening to help someone feel heard, narrative techniques to look at personal stories, and mindfulness to help with everyday thinking and habits. She tailors these tools to suit a person’s goals and situation.

People who choose Sheila can expect straightforward conversation about what is worrying them, and practical ways to try different responses between sessions. She invites clients to set pace and focus so therapy fits with real life.

How Sheila’s approaches work online and in conversation

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people clarify what matters and try different responses to daily thoughts and habits. Imago Relationship Therapy looks at how past experiences shape interactions in close relationships and helps partners practice new ways of relating that reduce blame and increase connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sheila will discuss goals, preferences and how someone responds to different methods, then agree a plan. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift over time.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please check current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Sessions can still focus on everyday thoughts, mindfulness practices and narrative work to change unhelpful habits, while being scheduled around work, family and other commitments.
