About Shelley
Shelley Shoaib Le Breton offers calm, straightforward support for people facing codependency, anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. She keeps sessions warm and accepting, and focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Shelley encourages people to bring the real things they worry about, not just labels.
Shelley uses a mix of approaches drawn from attachment work, cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred listening. She treats each person as the expert on their life and adapts sessions to their pace. The work can include thinking about unhelpful patterns, noticing thoughts and feelings, and practising small changes that affect day-to-day life.
Before becoming a counsellor, Shelley spent 18 years working with neurodiverse people as an educator. She has four years of direct therapy experience and brings that background into sessions. This helps when someone needs practical strategies alongside emotional support.
Shelley is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with adults on issues such as depression, grief, self-esteem, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma, eating issues, anger and major life changes.
People who choose Shelley often want a straightforward, empathetic approach. Sessions look at patterns arising from attachment and past experiences while also addressing current stresses and relationships. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to track progress.
How Shelley adapts attachment and CBT work for online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Shelley uses it to help people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, which is useful for codependency and intimacy concerns.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of each session. Shelley listens without judgement, follows the client's lead and helps them name goals that matter in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shelley will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and suggest how attachment ideas, client-centred listening or CBT techniques might be combined. The plan is decided together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or busy days. It allows for regular check-ins without long travel and can support people who prefer to meet from home or during a lunch break. The exact session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options when booking to ensure they fit your routine and goals.
