Shelley

Hi, I’m Shelley🤗! I’m really passionate about being a person-centred counsellor, because I love meeting new people and witnessing the positive changes they make with my support🌟. Fundamentally, I believe that everyone deserves to be happy, and I want to help people live their best lives and truly enjoy life🌱. This is why I initially pursued a career in mental health nursing, and then later counselling, to support people as we all navigate life’s rollercoaster.

Am I the right therapist for you? Well, that’s totally your call! But I have expertise in supporting people through various challenges, like depression, anxiety, self-confidence, anger management, bereavement and loss, separation, and relationships. I currently proudly support a diverse range of individuals, including those with neurodivergence who may find navigating our neurotypical world hard. I also work with couples and individuals exploring self-identity, and the LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️‍🌈

My approach is person-centred, and I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and CBT techniques. Over the past 40 years, I have worked in various NHS settings as well as providing online counselling. I offer a variety of tools to help you on your journey towards change, including coping strategies for anxiety, mindfulness techniques to promote calm and relaxation, and timeline work to address childhood trauma. I also offer hypnotherapy to help you de-stress and refocus on your goals- if that’s something you feel comfortable with.

A little more about me:

I moved from the hustle and bustle of London to the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside, where I spend most of my weekends walking around the Cotswolds🌲. I really enjoy keeping fit by going to the gym most days🤸🏿, and when it’s time to unwind, I treat myself to a long, hot bath with a good book📖.

I believe that life is meant for LIVING and change. But you don’t have to go through it alone. If you want to book a call with me know that I’m here for you – no judgement, just openness, support, and a safe, confidential space.
