Welcome to
Beechwood Counselling

You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just a willingness to begin.

Life can feel overwhelming at times – confusing, heavy, or just stuck. You may not know exactly what’s wrong, only that something doesn’t feel right. I offer a calm, supportive space to explore those feelings together – somewhere you can speak freely, be heard without judgment, and begin to make sense of what’s going on.

About Me

I’m Shelley, a qualified humanistic integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I work with care, curiosity and respect, tailoring sessions to your individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.My role is to be alongside you – not to offer quick fixes, but to help bring awareness to patterns, thoughts or feelings that may have been sitting just outside of conscious reach. Sometimes, it’s in noticing these subtle threads that change begins.

How I Work

Working integratively means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches depending on what you bring. I may use reflection, gentle challenge, creative techniques or body-based awareness – always with your consent and always at your pace.At the heart of my work is the belief that real change starts when we feel genuinely seen and accepted. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore, unravel, and reconnect – with yourself and with life.

Who I Work With

People come to counselling for many different reasons – anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, grief, trauma, or simply a sense of feeling lost or disconnected. Some want to explore the impact of past experiences, such as school or family life. Others are navigating relationship struggles, identity questions, or big life transitions.Whatever brings you here, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.
