Sheila Burrowes , BACP

Sheila Burrowes is an integrated counsellor based in Surrey who works with both couples and individuals, adapting therapeutic techniques to suit each person’s circumstances and pace. With five years of professional experience, she combines different approaches to create a personalised pathway for clients who are seeking support with life’s challenges.

Sheila treats each client as an individual and draws on a range of methods to respond to problems such as depression, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement, abuse, and trauma. She encourages clients to explore their concerns at a comfortable speed while helping them build practical coping strategies and greater self-awareness.

Sheila holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates her engagement with recognised professional standards in counselling practice. Based in the United Kingdom, she offers an approachable, client-focused style aimed at helping people find meaning, improve relationships, and manage difficult emotions and life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sheila draws on client-centered therapy to create a warm, non-judgmental space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work; this approach helps people build self-understanding, confidence, and practical coping skills. She also uses Imago relationship therapy to help partners explore patterns in their interactions, improve communication, and rebuild connection by identifying underlying needs and relational dynamics. In addition, mindfulness therapy offers simple, present-focused practices that can reduce overwhelming stress and improve emotional regulation, making it easier to respond rather than react to difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sheila works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust pace and techniques so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to engage in therapy from different locations and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family, or other commitments, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to support clients in ways that fit their daily lives.
