Shelley Shoaib Le Breton, BACP

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and trust in others; in online sessions this helps people make sense of patterns in close relationships and rebuild safer ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, offering empathic listening and reflection so clients feel understood; this approach works well over video or phone when someone needs a steady, accepting space. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides straightforward tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, and is useful when someone wants practical steps to manage low mood or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shelley will discuss different options and work together with each person to choose what fits their goals, needs and preferences. The plan can change as priorities shift over time.

Online appointments are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
