About Sheila
Sheila Bagshaw is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and the challenge of life changes. Sheila works in a respectful and compassionate way.
She aims to tailor conversations and a plan to each person’s needs. That means listening closely and adapting strategies to what helps most for the individual.
Background and approach
She uses client-centred methods that put the person's experience at the heart of sessions. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage worry and build calm. Solution-focused work supports practical steps and short-term goals when someone wants concrete change.
Sheila also brings experience with parenting concerns and ADHD, and with related problems such as communication issues, blended family tensions, and caregiver stress. She can help people dealing with body image, addiction, or the emotional impact of illness and bereavement. Sessions are aimed at making day-to-day life easier.
Sheila helps people notice what is working, practise new ways of coping, and set manageable goals. She encourages small steps that build confidence and a clearer sense of direction.

Approaches Sheila lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also offers mindfulness-based methods that teach simple breathing and attention exercises. These techniques can reduce anxiety and help with emotional regulation in everyday moments. Solution-focused work is part of her toolkit too, encouraging short-term goals and practical steps to change a difficult situation or improve coping.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Sheila will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to adapt them for online sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when someone has lower bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are handy for brief check-ins, processing thoughts between sessions, or when someone needs flexible timing.
