About Sheila

Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor who works in a person-centred, integrative way. She uses different approaches to match what each person needs and moves at the client’s pace. Her practice pays close attention to stress, anxiety and depression alongside relationship and intimacy concerns.

She helps people who are dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, or who are struggling with addictions and anger. Sheila also supports people facing work or career pressures, low self-esteem, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She offers care for issues such as bipolar mood challenges, parenting strain, and isolation or loneliness. Her background includes five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sheila draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a welcoming space where clients set the direction of the work.

She also uses Narrative Therapy to look at life stories and Psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat across relationships. When relationships are central, Sheila brings elements of Imago Relationship Therapy to help partners understand how early patterns affect current interactions. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and simple coping skills for stress and anxiety.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than technical jargon. Sheila offers online sessions for people in the United Kingdom and beyond. Conversations are simple and straightforward, with options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit their life and availability.

Online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and follows their lead. In sessions the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions and supports the client to make their own discoveries, which is useful for stress, low self-esteem and depression.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. Sheila helps clients separate themselves from a problem and rewrite unhelpful narratives, which can help with trauma, relationship patterns and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will discuss different options with each person and agree a plan together. This collaborative process means the method can change over time as needs and goals shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and people who prefer typed communication.
