About Sheila
Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She offers a person-focused approach and tailors sessions to what each individual brings. Sheila aims to move at the client's pace and adapt techniques to actual needs.
She uses a mix of methods rather than one fixed model. That means sessions may include talking through life events, reflecting on patterns, and trying small steps to change day-to-day habits.
Background and approach
She frames the work in straightforward language so people can make sense of what they are feeling. People come for many reasons. Sheila supports those coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns and relationship difficulties.
Other areas she focuses on include parenting, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career worries and major life changes. She also addresses concerns such as ageing and geriatric issues, blended family matters, cancer-related stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and co-morbidity. Additional focuses include control issues, dissociation, dependent personality traits, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.
Her practice draws on client-centred listening alongside narrative and psychodynamic ideas. Mindfulness and Imago relationship approaches may also be used to help with emotional regulation and relationship patterns. Sheila has five years of counselling experience and works with people in English.

How Sheila works online
Sheila also draws on Imago relationship ideas and mindfulness techniques. Imago-inspired work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice how old dynamics reappear. Mindfulness helps people learn to notice thoughts and feelings with less reactivity, which can ease stress and support emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will discuss goals and preferences and make decisions together about which methods to try. That collaborative process helps match the approach to what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to reach people in different locations.
