About Shelley

Shelley Wilman is a United Kingdom based practitioner with 30 years of professional experience and recognised credentials. She is a Chartered Psychologist and a registered member of the BACP - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Her training and long experience have shaped an integrative approach that adapts to each person rather than applying a single fixed method.

Shelley works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and difficulties with self-esteem and motivation. She also supports clients with relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, and a wide range of related difficulties including abandonment, body image, bereavement connected to cancer, commitment and communication problems, domestic violence, gender dysphoria, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. In practice she offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) among other approaches, choosing techniques to suit the needs of the individual.

Shelley’s stance is collaborative and respectful of each person’s knowledge of their own life. She treats clients as the experts in their story and helps them identify strengths and options for change. For many people the decision to begin therapy can feel daunting; Shelley aims to help clients make sense of their concerns, explore deeper feelings, and support the choices they want to make.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own experience, offering a warm, accepting space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore feelings and goals; it is useful for issues like self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through practical strategies and exercises, and it is often effective for anxiety, stress, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, and it can be offered online where appropriate by trained practitioners.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Shelley will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches so the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and comfort levels. This range of options helps people access consistent support without needing to travel, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and work toward their goals with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to the online setting.
