Shelley Shoaib Le Breton offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or change. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel approachable and manageable. Shelley uses simple, evidence-based ways to help people understand what is happening and to find small steps forward.

Shelley is a BACP counsellor with four years of clinical practice. Before becoming a counsellor she spent many years working as an educator with neurodiverse people, and that experience shapes how she listens and adapts her approach.

Background and approach

She draws on several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions are conversational and focused. Shelley helps people notice patterns in thinking and relating, and then tries out different ways of responding.

She also pays attention to early attachment and how past relationships affect present feelings and behaviour. Clients bring a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting stress, work strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and difficulties with intimacy or eating. Shelley also supports people managing life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.

She aims to make goals clear and achievable, one step at a time. Shelley works online and by phone, and offers video calls, live chat and text-based messaging. She encourages a collaborative pace so people can try new ways of coping without feeling rushed.

Her style is warm, practical and respectful.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports learning new ways to connect and feel supported.

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and encourages people to find their own answers, which can be especially useful for building self-esteem and decision-making.

Shelley will help clients choose and try approaches that fit their needs. Finding the right method is part of the journey and she works together with each person to decide what to focus on and how fast to move. Goals are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are close to a face-to-face meeting for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help people access therapy across locations and around other commitments.
