About me
Aimée Shelley Counselling – Person-Centred Counsellor in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Hello, and thank you for being here.
My name is Aimée Shelley, and I am a fully qualified and insured Person-Centred Counsellor and Psychotherapist (FdSc, BSc), offering counselling in Eastbourne and the surrounding areas of East Sussex. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and work in accordance with their ethical framework.
I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental counselling space, where you can feel safe to be yourself and explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change, and I work alongside you with care and respect, supporting growth, self-understanding and positive change.
I value each person’s individuality and life experience, and I am committed to providing a calm, confidential and accepting environment in which you feel heard and supported. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking greater clarity, counselling can help you move towards a more balanced and fulfilling future.
I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, low confidence, trauma, addiction, eating disorders, bereavement, and family and relationship difficulties. I also have particular experience and interest in working with neurodivergent clients, offering counselling that is flexible, inclusive and tailored to individual needs.
Alongside my private counselling practice in Eastbourne, I also work with the gambling charity Breakeven and with the Probation Service, which has broadened my clinical experience and understanding of complex emotional and life challenges.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and regularly attend CPD courses and training workshops to ensure my practice remains ethical, informed and responsive.
I offer face-to-face counselling in Eastbourne, as well as online counselling and telephone counselling, providing flexibility and accessibility. I also offer walk-and-talk counselling, which some clients find a more comfortable and grounding way to engage in therapy.
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, but you do not have to do it alone. If you are looking for a counsellor in Eastbourne or East Sussex and would like to ask any questions or explore whether I might be the right counsellor for you, please feel free to get in touch. I would be very happy to hear from you.

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.
