About Shelley
Shelley Wilman has worked in the United Kingdom for 30 years and is a BACP member. She draws on a wide range of practical methods rather than one fixed approach. Shelley aims to make the first steps into therapy easier and less daunting for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
She treats stress, anxiety and depression and offers focused help for trauma and abuse. Grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns are also within her practice.
Background and approach
Shelley lists additional areas such as body image, abandonment, guilt and shame, and issues around communication and control. Her style is collaborative and down to earth. She sees clients as the experts in their own story and looks for strengths they can use to move forward.
Sessions are about making sense of what happened and finding practical ways to cope day to day. Shelley uses several approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential ideas, solution-focused tools and EMDR. She adapts these methods to the needs and preferences of each person rather than following one set plan.
People can expect clear, simple conversations that aim to build understanding and small steps of change. Shelley supports clients to identify goals and to choose approaches that fit their situation and values.

Online support
Approaches you can try online and how they help
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s pace and helps them make sense of their feelings, which can be helpful for anxiety, low self-worth and relationship worries.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills for stress, panic and low mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to work through distressing memories and the feelings attached to them. It can be offered alongside other methods for people struggling after traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shelley will talk through goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That way the process stays collaborative and tailored to what helps most.
Online sessions provide flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
