About Sheila

Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people as individuals and with couples, tailoring different therapeutic techniques to each person’s needs and pace. Sheila draws on five years of practice and focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain.

Sheila uses an integrated approach, blending several methods to suit the situation. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients find what matters to them. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage, and to uncover clearer choices for moving forward.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction and intimacy-related issues. Sheila also supports people coping with life changes, career pressures, parenting challenges and self-esteem struggles. She names narcissism among the areas she addresses when it is relevant to relationship or personal concerns.

Sheila uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a respectful, non-judgemental space. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe their stories and see options they may have missed. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress and overwhelming emotion.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be accepted. The sign-up process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to Sheila’s availability.

How Sheila’s approaches translate to online work

Sheila combines Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people feel heard and calmer. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s view and building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship. Mindfulness Therapy offers practical exercises to reduce stress and bring attention to the present moment.

Sheila also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe stories that feel stuck and discover different ways to approach problems. Together these approaches are used to match the work to what a person needs, rather than following a single method. The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best fit based on goals and preferences.

Session logistics are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or reducing the need to be on camera if that suits a person better. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help therapy fit around everyday commitments rather than replacing in-person care.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
