Shelley Shoaib Le Breton, BACP

Shelley Shoaib Le Breton offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She speaks plainly and helps clients untangle tough feelings so they can take small steps forward. Shelley makes space for people who are struggling with self-esteem, depression, relationships, intimacy concerns, parenting strain or work pressure.

Shelley has four years of clinical counselling experience and a long background as an educator supporting neurodiverse people. That experience informs how she notices different thinking styles and tailors her approach. She holds BACP as a professional credential and works from the United Kingdom.

In sessions she focuses on building understanding around attachment, patterns and everyday habits. Conversations look at how past relationships influence current reactions. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches are used when helpful to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Her client-centred manner means the person in front of her sets the pace. Shelley listens, reflects and helps people identify goals that feel manageable. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to pay attention to deeper patterns that keep repeating.

People can use a mixture of video, phone or messaging formats to fit their lives. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Shelley aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on the changes each person wants to make.

How her approach works online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day feelings and reactions. Shelley uses this approach to help people understand patterns in close connections and to reduce repeated hurtful cycles. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's pace. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines that feed anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shelley will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together they review progress and adjust the plan if something isn't working, so therapy stays relevant to everyday life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit a short break or need less bandwidth. Messaging or live chat suit regular check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and understanding.
