About Sheila

Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor who uses a blend of approaches to meet each person's needs. She works at an individual's pace and adapts methods to suit what they find helpful. Sheila draws on five years of practice to help people talk through difficult feelings and situations.

Sheila commonly supports people dealing with stress and anxiety. She also helps with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and problems linked to relationships and intimacy.

Background and approach

Addictions, self-esteem issues and life changes are other areas she addresses. Her work is person-focused. That means sessions centre on the client's experience rather than a fixed formula.

Sheila uses client-centred listening alongside narrative and psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns and stories that matter to the person in front of her. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people get more control over overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions. Imago relationship ideas may be introduced when relationship dynamics are a key concern, helping people notice how past experiences affect present connections.

Sheila holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts people from outside the United Kingdom. Therapy is offered online in several formats to fit different lifestyles.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Payment is handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Ways of working Sheila names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Sheila's approaches work online

Sheila draws on client-centred work and mindfulness to shape online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and helping the person feel understood. It is useful for people who need a caring space to talk about stress, depression or relationship worries. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce worry and ground strong feelings; it can help when anxiety or overwhelming thoughts make daily life hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will discuss what feels most helpful and will adapt methods to match goals and preferences. That choice is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls recreate a face-to-face experience for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
