About me
Aimée Shelley Counselling - Eastbourne, East Sussex
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read my Counselling Directory profile.
My name is Aimee and I am a fully qualified and insured Person-Centred Counsellor (FdSc BSc) working within Eastbourne and the surrounding areas. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and strongly believe in their code of ethics.
I embrace a warm, open, empathetic and non-judgmental attitude building a trusting therapeutic relationship that promotes the potential for growth and change. I respect and value each persons individuality and offer a confidential, calm and safe space in which you are empowered to explore your own feelings and emotions. Working together through anything that is troubling you leading to therapeutic change, with a goal to moving towards a more positive future and self-understanding.
I have experience in working in a variety of different areas including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, family issues, addiction, trauma, eating disorders, bereavement and am also particularly experienced in working within neuro-diversity.
As well as being passionate and committed to my private counselling practice, I am also passionate about the work that I do for a gambling charity Breakeven and the Probation Services.
I am committed to continuing my professional development, regularly attending CPD courses and training workshops, consistently broadening my knowledge and understanding.
I offer face-to-face counselling as well as online and telephone counselling. I also offer walk and talk counselling, if this is something that you feel more comfortable doing.
I am here to talk should you have any questions regarding my approach to counselling or to discuss whether I am the right counsellor for you so please do not hesitate to contact me.

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.
