Sheila Burrowes, BACP

Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who uses an integrated approach. She tailors sessions to each person and moves at a pace they find comfortable. Sheila draws on several talking therapies to help people make sense of difficult feelings and situations.

She supports people facing stress and anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and addictions. Intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem concerns are also within her focus. Sheila also helps those coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to ageing or blended-family dynamics.

Her background includes five years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sheila blends client-centred work with narrative, psychodynamic and mindfulness ideas. She also uses Imago Relationship Therapy when working on relationship dynamics.

In sessions she listens for the story beneath a problem and helps people find new ways to move forward. That might mean noticing unhelpful patterns, experimenting with small changes, or developing kinder ways of relating to oneself and others. She encourages practical steps and reflection between meetings.

Sheila accepts international clients and offers work in English. People who are curious about counselling are invited to consider whether talking through difficulties might help them cope better and find clearer direction.

How Sheila's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting space where the client leads the pace and topics. It helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes by prioritising what matters most to the person.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment noticing and simple attention skills. It can help people manage stress, reduce rumination and cope with strong emotions through short, practical exercises.

Imago Relationship Therapy looks at how past patterns shape current relationship dynamics and supports couples in practising new ways of connecting. It is useful for partners working through communication breakdowns and issues of intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to agree what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before are taken into account when planning sessions.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins easier. If you are looking to balance therapy with a busy routine, mention that when you schedule so arrangements can be discussed.
