About me
Hello, I’m Shelley.
As a person-centred counsellor, I believe the strength of the therapeutic relationship is the essence of reaching successful outcomes in counselling. Sometimes it can be difficult to make sense of what is happening in our lives. This might be due to past experiences, unmet needs, clashing values, or things that feel difficult to understand. I am here to support you to explore your thoughts and feelings - at your own pace - and together we can work to gently untangle the knots and explore what might be bothering you.
I am an approachable, open-minded, and down-to-earth person, and I aim to create a safe and supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind. I hope that through our work together, you can develop a better understanding of yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
- BA Professional Practice (Education)
- Level 3 Certificate in Counselling
- Advanced Diploma in Counselling Theory and Therapeutic Practice
I have experience supporting clients with a range of issues, including anxiety, bereavement, low mood, neurodiversity, and relationship difficulties.

Further information
Alongside my counselling work, I work in SEND education, which has given me valuable insight into some of the challenges parents of children with special educational needs and disabilities can face.
If you feel that counselling might be helpful, you are welcome to get in touch.
