About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I'm Shelly. I'm an experienced integrative counsellor which means I work using a range of therapeutic styles allowing me to work with my clients in a way that is best suited to them. I work in a relational way and aim to support my clients to feel safe and supported enough to be bring their whole self.
Life is tough and we all face difficulties at some point. How we cope with those difficulties however can depend on so many different factors such as childhood experiences, traumatic events or even social and cultural expectations. Sometimes we don't even understand why it is we feel or behave the way we do but the anxiety and depression it causes can be overwhelming and difficult to deal with.
No one should have to go through these difficulties alone and I want to help support others when they need it most. I have counselled both children and adults throughout my career and have worked with people from a vast array of backgrounds, cultures and beliefs and I offer the same genuine non-judgemental, empathetic and supportive relationship to anyone I meet. Come as you are, you are in a safe space with me.
Practice description
I am based in Groby, Leicester and work with clients in-person, online or on the phone. I have a small office above Natural Elements in Groby which is a short walk from local amenities and has free parking.
I offer a free 15minute initial telephone conversation with all potential clients allowing you the chance to ask any questions you may have.
Counselling sessions are 50minutes long and I offer both short and long term therapy.
My first session
During our first session we will discuss your expectations, what you you feel you would like to work on and how we can best work together. The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and to see if this feels like the right fit for you. Counselling involves a client feeling safe enough with their therapist to discuss any worries they may have and this first session is your opportunity to see if you could do that with me.
We will also have regular reviews to see how you feel the sessions are going and to reassess your wants and needs.
