About Shelley
Shelley Shoaib Le Breton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. She works with adults on issues like grief, self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. Shelley also supports people dealing with trauma, parenting strain, work-related stress and concerns linked to ADHD.
Shelley draws on four years of direct therapeutic practice alongside 18 years of experience supporting neurodiverse people as an educator. She uses client-centred and attachment-informed approaches that place the person's experience at the centre of sessions. Cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking also inform how she notices patterns and gently challenges unhelpful habits.
In a typical session she listens for what matters most, helps clarify goals, and co-created practical steps to try between sessions. Conversations can include looking at how past relationships shape current reactions, identifying thought patterns that fuel anxiety, and practising small changes that build confidence.
Shelley describes the therapy space as compassionate and empathetic. She encourages people to bring whatever feels most pressing, whether that is a recent loss, ongoing low mood, or difficulty with intimacy and communication. Practical everyday struggles such as parenting pressure, career decisions and anger are included in her approach.
People who value a supportive, conversational style may find her way of working helpful. Shelley asks clients to be part of planning the work so therapy matches their pace and needs. To begin, clients follow the service's sign-up process and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Shelley’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, and can help when intimacy, abandonment or trust issues cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person to find their own answers, useful for building self-esteem and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviours, and introduces simple steps to test different responses and reduce anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shelley works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She will review progress and adjust the focus as needs change so sessions remain relevant and practical. Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed. It can also make it simpler to access a therapist from another region or when juggling work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals aim to help people use session time effectively to address stress, relationships, grief and related concerns.Areas of focus
