Hello, I’m Sheila, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist dedicated to supporting adults through life’s many challenges. I understand that at times life can feel overwhelming, uncertain and painful: reaching out for support can be a big step. My aim is to offer a compassionate, confidential space where you can feel heard, valued and supported. I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns.
I bring experience working with bereavement, having supported many individuals in the hospice setting. I am a Cruse-trained bereavement supporter and am involved in their online support group sessions.
I have a particular passion for supporting those experiencing baby loss, recurrent miscarriage, infertility, maternal mental health challenges, birth trauma, perimenopause and menopause. These experiences can feel deeply personal and often invisible to others, and I offer a compassionate space where you don’t have to face them alone. I have been trained by PANDAS, a charity which advocates for women and partners’ perinatal mental health and I support clients via their helpline .
I have completed specialist training in perinatal mental health which means I am well-equipped to offer the emotional support you need throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.
We will focus on what feels most important to you and work at your pace. As you begin to understand yourself more fully, you will find new ways to navigate difficult parts of your life. Over time, this can help bring you more clarity and fulfilment.
Each person is unique and I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from a range of therapies — including attachment-based, person-centred, psychodynamic and somatic approaches — depending on what feels most helpful for you.
Together, we’ll gently explore your inner world, make sense of what you’re experiencing and discover new ways of coping that help you feel more grounded, resilient and able to live a life that feels fulfilling and true to who you are.
I warmly welcome clients from all communities. I am LGBTQIA+ affirmative and committed to being neurodivergent-aware, creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with clients aged 18 and over in central London in comfortable therapy rooms in London Bridge SE1, Kensington and Monument as well as offering online sessions via Zoom.
We can work together on a long-term, open-ended basis or for a shorter, more goal-driven term. We can discuss what works best for you and reassess as we go along.
