About me
I’m Shirley — a down-to-earth counsellor and mindset coach with years of experience helping individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or lost. If you’ve found yourself stuck in unhelpful patterns, burnt out by life, or struggling to communicate in your relationship, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
My approach is honest, practical, and deeply supportive. This isn’t about giving you surface-level advice or endless nodding along. I offer a space where we get real — about what’s going on under the surface — and gently work through it together.
Whether we’re untangling relationship issues, managing anxiety or loneliness, or building stronger boundaries and self-worth, our work is always grounded in compassion and clarity. I bring both counselling depth and coaching tools to help you move forward, not just look back.
You’ll get straight talk, steady support, and someone who truly wants to see you live and relate differently — in ways that feel more honest, more empowered, and more you.
What I Can Help With:
• Relationship challenges and communication breakdowns
• Anxiety, burnout, and feeling overwhelmed
• Loneliness, disconnection, and self-worth issues
• Life transitions or feeling “stuck in a rut”
• Addictive patterns or compulsive habits
• Overthinking and perfectionism
• Feeling like you’ve lost yourself
How I Work
Sessions with me are collaborative, flexible, and led by what you bring — whether that’s messy, painful, uncertain, or deeply personal. You won’t be judged or rushed. I’ll meet you where you are and help you gently move toward where you want to be.
I draw on both counselling and mindset coaching depending on what you need. Some people come to me for deep emotional work; others want clarity, accountability, and a safe place to figure out what’s next. Either way, you’ll get grounded, real-world support — not fluff.
All sessions are held online. You don't need to be in a therapy room to experience real change. Online sessions are just as effective and offer the freedom to reflect and grow from the comfort of your own space. Many clients find it easier to open up this way - and meaningful change still happens.
Next Steps
You're not broken - you're human. The goal isn't perfection - it's freedom, self-acceptance and clarity.

You don't have to have it all figured out - just be willing to start. I'll meet you there.

Further information
All sessions are held online.
You don't need to be in a therapy room to experience connection, clarity and change. Online sessions offer the same depth and support, with the added benefit of being in your own space. Many clients find it more comfortable and just as effective.
If you're ready to explore what's possible, I'd love to hear from you.
