Sheila Harrington

I currently have in person and online availability. Please contact me for available slots.

Hello, I鈥檓 Sheila, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist dedicated to supporting adults through life鈥檚 many challenges. I understand that at times life can feel overwhelming, uncertain and painful: reaching out for support can be a big step. My aim is to offer a compassionate, confidential space where you can feel heard, valued and supported. I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns.

I bring experience working with bereavement, having supported many individuals in the hospice setting. I am a Cruse-trained bereavement supporter and am involved in their online support group sessions.

I have a particular passion for supporting those experiencing baby loss, recurrent miscarriage, infertility, maternal mental health challenges, birth trauma, perimenopause and menopause. These experiences can feel deeply personal and often invisible to others, and I offer a compassionate space where you don鈥檛 have to face them alone. I have been trained by PANDAS, a charity which advocates for women and partners鈥� perinatal mental health and I support clients via their helpline .

I have completed specialist training in perinatal mental health which means I am well-equipped to offer the emotional support you need throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. 

I use an integrative approach to therapy, meaning I adapt various techniques, depending on your unique situation, including humanistic, psychodynamic, breathwork and journaling, helping you to untangle and make sense of your inner world so you can live in a more resilient, empowered and fulfilling way.

I am LGBTQIA+ friendly, neurodivergent-aware and welcome clients from all communities. I work with adults aged 18 or over.

I am taking on new clients on a long-term basis or for a shorter, more goal-driven basis. We can discuss this more fully when we meet. I see clients in comfortable therapy rooms near London Bridge and online via Zoom.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, so it is important to find someone with whom you feel a connection. That鈥檚 why I offer a free 15 minute introductory call during which time we can explore any issues that are troubling you and we can see if we are a 鈥榞ood fit鈥� for each other.

After our initial chat, we can arrange our first full session together during which I find out more about you, your relationships and family and what is bringing you to therapy at this time.

In ongoing sessions, you鈥檙e welcome to bring whatever feels most important to you at the time. Together, we鈥檒l build a trusting relationship and find a way of working that feels right for you.

Sessions are held weekly, on the same day and at the same time each week, to provide consistency and a sense of stability.

Sessions are client-led meaning that your experiences, feelings and goals are at the forefront of our work together. My role is to help you explore these to facilitate self-discovery and personal growth.

We will focus on what feels most important to you and work at your pace. As you begin to understand yourself more fully, you will find new ways to navigate difficult parts of your life. Over time, this can help bring you more clarity and fulfilment.

Each person is unique and I don鈥檛 take a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from a range of therapies 鈥� including attachment-based, person-centred, psychodynamic and somatic approaches 鈥� depending on what feels most helpful for you.

Together, we鈥檒l gently explore your inner world, make sense of what you鈥檙e experiencing and discover new ways of coping that help you feel more grounded, resilient and able to live a life that feels fulfilling and true to who you are.
