About me
Hi, I'm Shelley – a qualified humanistic integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP.
No two people are the same, so no two sets of sessions look the same either. Rather than following a set method, I tailor our work together around what you bring, at a pace that feels right for you.
I see my role as being alongside you, not fixing you. Often, the things that trouble us most aren't loud or obvious – they're quieter patterns in how we think, feel or relate to others: easy to sense, hard to put into words. Together, we make space to notice them properly – what they are, where they come from, and how they're showing up in your life now. That noticing is often where change begins.
Whatever's brought you here, you'll be met with care, curiosity and respect – no judgement, no quick fixes, just a space that's genuinely yours.
If this sounds like the kind of support you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
Currently training as a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist. I hold a level 4 certificate in Humanistic therapeutic counselling.
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.

Further information
Working integratively means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, depending on what you bring – reflection, gentle challenge, creative techniques or body-based awareness – always with your consent and at your own pace.
At the heart of my work is the belief that real change starts when we feel genuinely seen and accepted. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore, unravel and reconnect – with yourself, and with life.
