About Shelley
Shelley Wilman is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 30 years of experience. She has a long track record helping people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with relationship and intimacy-related issues and anger, and uses approaches such as CBT and EMDR.
Shelley describes herself as an integrative practitioner who does not expect one method to fit everyone. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and starts from there. Sessions focus on finding a clearer understanding of what is troubling the client and identifying practical steps that feel right for them.
In the room she combines client-centred listening with structured tools when they are useful. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be introduced to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour. EMDR is offered as one of the trauma-focused options for people who have experienced traumatic events.
Shelley also uses existential and solution-focused ideas to help clarify values, priorities and immediate goals. These approaches often lead to shorter-term problem solving alongside deeper reflection about meaning and choices. She supports people who are dealing with issues such as abandonment, body image, cancer-related concerns, commitment or communication problems.
Her work aims to make difficult feelings more understandable and manageable so clients can make deliberate choices about change. The first sessions typically look at what matters most to the person, and then set small practical steps to work on between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says to help them understand their own feelings and choices. It suits people who want a thoughtful, person-led conversation about what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses structured exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replace them with more effective patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and stress by giving concrete tools to use between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works through distressing memories using guided procedures. It is offered as an option for people who have experienced traumatic events and want a focused trauma approach.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting if needed to better fit what helps you make progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current options before booking so you know what is possible. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can take place between other commitments.
