Sheila Burrowes, BACP

Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to meet each person where they are. She works at the client's pace and chooses methods that fit the individual rather than applying one fixed model. Sheila's practice addresses common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

Sheila helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, as well as those dealing with addiction or bipolar-related concerns. She also supports clients with intimacy issues, self-esteem problems and career-related stress. Her work includes additional focus on ageing and geriatric issues and challenges that arise alongside long-term illness and blended family dynamics.

Her style combines listening with practical ways to try things differently between sessions. Sessions can involve looking at current patterns, telling and reworking personal stories, and bringing mindful awareness to everyday thoughts and feelings. Where relationship matters are involved, elements of Imago relationship thinking can be used to improve communication.

Sheila has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background supports work with a wide range of life transitions and emotional challenges.

She offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. People interested in starting can expect a practical first conversation about what they hope to change and how therapy might fit into their life.

How Sheila's approaches work for remote therapy

Sheila draws on client-centred work that focuses on the person's experience and priorities, helping people feel heard and understood while they decide what to change. Imago relationship ideas are used when communication and connection are the focus, offering structured ways to practise new conversation skills. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and can help with anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. Sheila will talk through goals, preferences and how different ways of working might help. She adapts methods as needs change so sessions remain practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy when relocating or living abroad, while the therapist and client explore which techniques translate well to remote sessions.
