Sheila Burrowes is a counsellor who uses a blend of therapeutic approaches to suit each person she sees. She works at a calm pace and adapts methods to fit what someone needs in the moment. Sheila holds BACP registration which signals her professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She helps people with stress and anxiety and with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar difficulties. Relationship problems, intimacy issues and bereavement are also areas she addresses, as are addictions and trauma.
Background and approach
Sheila also supports people dealing with career strain, low self-esteem, anger and major life changes. Her practice includes work around family-related concerns and parenting strains, plus topics such as blended family issues, divorce and separation, and isolation or loneliness. She offers help for complex situations including co-morbidity, dissociation, dependent personality patterns, and the emotional impact of serious illness like cancer.
Sheila draws on client-centred therapy to follow each person’s priorities, and uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at life stories and recurring patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment skills and reduce reactivity. Imago relationship work informs her approach to relational difficulties.
She has five years' experience and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she is available to work with international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
How Sheila’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s priorities first and involves listening closely to what matters to them. This approach helps people clarify goals, feel heard and shape sessions around their needs. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress in day-to-day life. These techniques are useful for anxiety, stress and emotion regulation. Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on how past patterns influence current relationships and offers practical dialogues to improve understanding and connection between partners. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheila will talk with each person about their goals, history and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time so the therapy fits the person’s needs and preferences. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, reflective notes or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility and practical access while keeping the therapeutic focus central.What kinds of problems does Sheila focus on?
