About Sheila
Sheila Burrowes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on common life struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and anger. Sheila also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and questions about intimacy and self-esteem.
Sheila takes an integrated, client-centred approach. That means she treats each person as an individual and draws on different therapies to match the issue and pace of the client. Sessions are conversational and practical. The work often focuses on clearer understanding, better coping strategies and small changes that make daily life easier.
Sheila uses a mix of approaches including client-centred listening, narrative work to reframe difficult stories, mindfulness to manage strong feelings, psychodynamic ideas about patterns, and Imago relationship techniques for couples. These methods are used to look at how past experiences, current relationships and daily habits shape reactions like anger or withdrawal.
People come to Sheila for a wide range of concerns - parenting strain, career stress, relationship problems, bereavement, addiction, ageing issues and more. She is also experienced with blended family issues, infidelity, domestic violence, and complex emotional themes such as guilt, shame and control problems.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. If a person wants to start, the usual process is to use the online matching steps and book a first session to see how the counsellor and approach fit together.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Sheila frequently draws on client-centred therapy and mindfulness in her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience so they can identify practical next steps. Mindfulness work involves simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions such as anger.She also uses Imago relationship ideas when relationship issues are present. Imago offers structured ways for two people to talk and hear each other, which can reduce escalation and improve connection. These approaches suit relationship strain, recurring anger, and difficulties with communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sheila will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. That discussion usually happens in the first sessions and can be adjusted as the work progresses.
If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, avoid travel time and choose a quieter time of day. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions, for example mindfulness exercises or structured Imago conversations, while others may be paced differently when not in person.
