Approach

Hi there, my name is Sheila and my work involves helping clients work towards making sense of their distress and discovering hope beyond their immediate struggle. I come alongside clients on their therapeutic journey. Doing so has helped those I have worked with to gain the understanding that even in the depths of their distress they are not alone.

I work with all age groups, specialising in working with children and young people. My therapeutic approach stems from a Person Centred perspective, with a blend of different therapeutic processes to form an integrative way of supporting clients. This means that the sessions I offer are tailored to meet the client’s individual needs. I can incorporate techniques from CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Attachment Theories, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Creative Therapy and Play Therapy.
