Sheila Burrowes, BACP

Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor who works in an integrated way to meet each person where they are. She uses a mix of approaches and moves at a pace that suits the individual. Sheila is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She listens to what matters most and then adapts practical ways to help. That might mean talking through low mood, anxiety or stress, thinking about relationship patterns, or finding ways to cope after loss or trauma. She also supports people dealing with addictions, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, and life changes such as separation or illness. Sessions focus on the person rather than a label. Sheila draws on client-centred conversation to help people bring clarity to difficult feelings. Narrative techniques can help reframe stories that feel stuck, and psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeating patterns that cause pain. Her practice includes attention to issues that often come with ageing, blended families, cancer and co-morbidity. She also works with people facing guilt, shame, infidelity, isolation and problems connected to alcohol or drug use. Sheila has five years of counselling experience. She describes a gentle, tailored approach that aims to make talking feel useful and manageable for everyday life.

How Sheila’s approach translates to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions through open, non-judgemental conversation. It suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and coping with change because the counsellor follows the client's lead and reflects back what matters most to them.

Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce stress and reactivity. This can be useful for people managing chronic worry, mood swings or the emotional impact of illness and loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sheila works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She will check in regularly and adapt the work if something is not helping.

The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm the available session types when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats are better for quieter, longer conversations while others suit shorter check-ins or phone-based updates, so confirming options helps match practical needs to therapeutic goals.
