About me
Would you get a medal for your anxiety if there was one? Is a relationship fizzling out and leaving you feeling uncertain?
Or has depression drained all the colour out of your life along with your self-esteem?
Life can be a rocky road for most of us, so having the opportunity to tell your story, gain insight, clarity and a fresh perspective can be a welcome relief.
My established online private practice offers you flexibility and convenience. Using Zoom, WhatsApp and Facetime you can explore thoughts, feelings and emotions to obtain some clarity over them within a comfortable environment that suits you.
So make yourself a beverage and grab your favourite snack and lets talk!
Take a look around my website www.talktoshirley.co.uk, or give me a call on 07846 729042 - you have nothing to lose except how you feel right now about yourself and your life.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) I work within the BACP Ethical framework.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
