Shelley Taylor

Sometimes we find ourselves in difficult situations or facing problems which we struggle to manage on our own. It can however be difficult to ask for help or talk about some issues, particularly with those around you such as family and friends.  

There are many reasons that people seek counselling. It may be that you have recently suffered a difficult life event, lost a loved one, are suffering from health issues, have problems in your relationship(s), are suffering from anxiety/low self-esteem or are just struggling to live the life you wish. Counselling is not only for people who are in crisis and having a regular space to think and talk through issues with someone who is impartial can help to bring some clarity. 

I have extensive experience in working with many issues but particularly with anxiety, trauma, abuse and relationships.  I work with individuals (over 18)  and couples.

I can offer you a safe and confidential space to talk and think about matters away from the pressures of every day life. I will not give you "homework" or offer advice.  I will however help you to explore issues to try to find some understanding of what may be causing you difficulty and to find some clarity to achieve your own changes.

Appointments take place in my therapy room in Rustington or online via Zoom.

I am able to work with you on an open ended basis or for a fixed number of sessions.  Everyone's needs are different and we can discuss what will best work for you. Appointments are usually weekly at the same time each week. I am however aware that this is not always possible and can usually accommodate shift patterns.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor. I am a registered member of BACP and accredited member of the National Counselling Society.

If you contact me by email, sometimes my response will go to your spam folders so could you please also provide a contact telephone number. I will endeavour to get back to you within 24 hours.
