About Sheila
Sheila Burrowes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and parenting pressures. Sheila also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and intimacy-related concerns.
Sheila uses an integrated approach, combining methods to suit each person. Sessions move at the client's pace. She treats each situation as individual and selects techniques that fit the person rather than following one fixed model.
Practical problems at home are a common focus. Sheila helps people talk through conflict, manage strong emotions like anger and shame, and cope with major life changes. She also works with issues such as blended family strain, divorce and separation, and caring for older relatives.
The therapist draws on client-centred work to prioritise the client's perspective, narrative therapy to look at life stories, and mindfulness to develop present-moment coping skills. She brings psychodynamic ideas into sessions to notice repeating patterns that affect relationships and choices.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. Online sessions give space to talk through what matters most and set the pace. This approach helps with stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity. Practising these skills between sessions can help with anxiety, anger and coping with life changes. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, and can shift how problems are understood and handled.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try. That choice can change as people learn what helps most for their situation.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the tools above to suit conversations over distance and help people apply what they learn in everyday life.
