About me
Do you find yourself feeling anxious, low, or emotionally overwhelmed, unsure how to move forward? Perhaps you notice the same patterns showing up in your relationships, or feel that past experiences are still having an impact on how you think and feel today.
I’m Sheila, a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist offering online therapy for adults across the UK. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and ongoing stress. My aim is to provide a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin to understand yourself more deeply.
Our work together can help you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface, while also finding practical ways to cope, feel calmer, and regain a sense of balance. I take an integrative, person-centred approach, which means therapy is tailored to you - your pace, your needs, and what feels most helpful.
I have a particular focus on perinatal mental health, supporting both women and men through fertility challenges, pregnancy, birth trauma, and postnatal depression. I also have experience supporting clients who have been affected by trauma, including domestic abuse and PTSD.
I offer a free 15-minute introductory call to help you decide if this feels like the right support for you. If you’re considering therapy, you’re welcome to reach out.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a BA in Sociology from University College Dublin (UCD). I completed my postgraduate training at the Irish Institute of Counselling and Psychotherapy and qualified as a psychotherapist via the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP.) I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
As part of my professional development, I continue to engage in regular trainings and workshops in the field of mental health.
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.
