Shirley Is a qualified therapeutic counsellor and member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), with a background in teaching. Throughout her career, supporting the well-bei

ng of her colleagues, pupils and carers has always been at the core of her work. Shirley is a creative practitioner, who is able to draw from a variety of modalities, to ensure that she provides support that is tailored closely to the client’s needs and feels right for them. She believes that the client is the expert on themselves and that with the right support they will find a positive way forward. This support entails offering a safe, confidential space, without judgement and with full positive regard and warmth. Shirley believes that being invited to step into a client’s world, alongside them, during sessions, and helping them to navigate difficult times or situations, is both a privilege and a responsibility that she values greatly. Shirley is able to support clients with a wide range of issues, including bereavement, loss, anxiety, addictions, trauma and many everyday difficulties that life presents us with. She is currently an approved therapist with Anxiety UK. Shirley is keen to explore holistic therapies and work in a holistic manner when this suits the client best. She is qualified in teaching Mindfulness and finds that the breath work taken from this can provide instant support to a client who may feel overwhelmed in the moment. Shirley has experience of supporting adults, young people, and children in a variety of settings, including schools, clinics and in their own homes. She also works online and via telephone. Her experience also encompasses work with children and adults on the Autistic spectrum, with visual impairments and other additional needs. Shirley was recently described as a warm, gentle person, who prizes her clients and shows that they matter.

Children and Young people who are neurodivergent will often feel the need to mask and this depletes them in so many ways. Learning how to understand and expand their window of tolerance whilst exploring their sense of self with a therapeutic counsellor can often be helpful. Feeling truly heard in a confidential space might be the first step that makes all the difference. CBT skills can also provide an emotional and practical toolkit to manage overwhelm and difficult feelings. 🌱

For the first time, anyone in mental health crisis can now call 111 and receive support from trained mental health professionals.

The 24/7 service is available for people of all ages, including children, and will provide vital help through a single phone line where staff can guide callers with next steps such as organising face-to-face community support or facilitating access to alternatives services.

I hope you are able to do this at some point every day, even if it is just a few minutes on your doorstep or at an open window. Breathe, follow your breath, place your hand on your heart and remind yourself… you are enough 🧡🌱

This time of year can be extra stressful for so many reasons, so please go gently with yourselves and allow yourself to be human rather than trying to be perfect! 🌷

I often recommend Headspace for clients who struggle with anxiety, worry or overwhelm. It is great to see this offer. 🌱

We can’t change the past but by giving voice to difficult experiences, we can lessen the weight that we carry from it. Finding a way to gently step forward in such a way that acknowledges our lived experiences, whilst allowing us to flourish as we all deserve, can be helped by having a trained counsellor stepping in alongside you as you journey onwards. 🧡🌱
