About Sheila
Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to guide people through difficult times. She is a BACP member with five years' experience and works with adults on relationship and personal concerns. Sheila listens without judgement and tailors sessions to each person's needs and pace.
She focuses on stress, anxiety and depression, and on problems linked to relationships and intimacy. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and major life changes.
Background and approach
Sheila helps with practical coping, rebuilding self-esteem and managing anger. Sheila uses ideas from narrative and psychodynamic work to help people make sense of their life stories. She draws on mindfulness to teach grounding and breathing techniques that reduce tension.
Her way of working is collaborative - she and the client agree the focus and pace of therapy. Sessions can cover family-related conflicts, parenting strains or issues that arise from blended households and ageing. Sheila addresses relationship concerns such as infidelity, separation and trust, and helps people navigate the emotional effects of illness and bereavement.
Sheila offers video, phone, chat and messaging formats so conversations can fit modern life. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and books sessions that suit their schedule. Costs vary with location and the subscription model used.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices for staying present, such as breathing and grounding exercises. These tools help reduce tension and are easy to practise between sessions when life feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will choose methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process can change over time as priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people read body language and have a closer conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
