Counselling women and men in midlife
Healing the past and creating the life you envision

About me

I help you to reconnect to yourself and your needs so that you can create the life you envision; fulfilled and meaningful. I have a long-standing commitment and passion for personal growth so that we show up in our lives as whole and as well as we can.

Hi I’m Shirley, an integrative counsellor and therapeutic coach.

Since 2007 I’ve been supporting my clients to peel back the layers of their life to get to the core of their issues and begin to work through it. When we heal from our past and restore ourselves, we have more capacity for ourselves and to support others.

I feel that we can live happier lives if we pay more attention to our own decisions and spend less energy on comparison with others. As we become more integrated and authentic our lives feel more real and meaningful.

With the addition of therapeutic coaching and writing I can support you to get clarity on that future life that you desire and take the necessary steps to towards it.

As your BACP registered counsellor I bring 19 years of experience of supporting clients to get to know themselves better, heal from the past, be fully active in their present life and move towards the life they envision.

I provide a warm, attentive and supportive space where you can be seen and heard. Whether you are experiencing overwhelm, disconnection, low mood or frustration – with attention, reflection and curiosity, we can find a way through.

As a parent to an adopted neurodiverse teenager, I am also navigating mid-life challenges and holding space for things that require dedication and patience.

I also write books and articles, and you can find out more here. All books can be ordered from me or from Amazon.
