About Shelley
Shelley Wilman is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 30 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, and related concerns such as body image, abandonment and guilt and shame.
Shelley practises in an integrative way and uses a mix of approaches rather than one single method. She offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. The aim is to use whatever helps most for the problem you bring.
Her style treats the person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and why it matters to you. Practical steps and reflections are used together to make sense of difficult feelings and to try different ways of coping.
Shelley speaks English and works within the UK framework recorded by her BACP registration. She has many years of experience supporting people through bereavement, separation and the aftermath of abuse, and she pays attention to issues like control, commitment, loneliness and jealousy as they come up.
If you are carrying guilt or shame about something you did or didn’t do, or feeling stuck by patterns that keep repeating, she will work with you to look at your feelings and options. To begin, follow the site process to match with her and book a first session.
How Shelley uses different approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps when someone wants a space to talk through feelings and to be helped to clarify their own goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical strategies and short exercises to test different ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship patterns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong reactions in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shelley will discuss options with the client and decide together what to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That can mean using reflection and listening alongside practical CBT tasks, or moving into trauma-focused work if needed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so check the booking details to confirm the exact session types offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when that suits. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can help adapt techniques to work well at a distance and to match sessions to day-to-day life.
