About Sheila
Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines several approaches to meet each person’s needs. She is registered with the BACP, and she works with people at a pace that suits them. Sheila aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Sheila uses an integrative style, drawing on client-centred work to make space for each person’s story. She also brings in narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand recurring patterns.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practice is used to steady emotions and sharpen attention when needed. People come to Sheila for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, bereavement, trauma and abuse, and struggles related to addiction. She also supports people facing career strain, low self-esteem, anger, and life transitions such as separation and grief.
LGBT concerns are explicitly listed among her areas of focus. Sheila describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions typically involve listening, reflecting, and trying small changes between meetings.
She works with the material clients bring and helps them try new ways of thinking and behaving in everyday life. With five years’ experience, Sheila aims to offer clear, grounded support rather than jargon. Her approach is practical and person-focused, helping people find options that fit their situation and goals.

How Sheila’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a warm, listening stance that helps people feel heard and understood. In an online context this often means creating steady, predictable sessions where the client sets the pace and topics. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to calm the body and focus the mind; these can be taught and practised during remote meetings to help with anxiety, stress and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will talk through aims and preferences with each person and choose methods together. This collaborative process means plans can change as needs and goals become clearer over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when camera use is difficult or choose sessions that suit their energy and concentration levels.
