COUNSELLING & COACHING WITH SHELLEY HART
Because we are all unique

MY APPROACH
Warm, welcoming & down-to-earth
Therapy Approach - Online Integrative Therapy in East London
A warm, integrative, and relational approach to therapy - available both online and in person.
The clients I work with tell me that the genuine, open and empathic approach I provide helps them to truly be themselves and explore difficult experiences and emotions without fear of being judged - this, in itself, can be very healing.Whether you're seeking counselling in East London or online counselling , my approach remains consistent and compassionate.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I work with the whole person, not the “label.” This holistic approach acknowledges that everyone is vulnerable to life’s challenges, which can impact our emotions, behaviours, and perceptions of ourselves, others, and the world. Rather than listing the areas I work with, my experience includes supporting clients through many emotional difficulties and life events that prevent them from leading the life they want. As your therapist East London, I have no agenda other than to help you find relief from what’s holding you back - whether that relates to anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, grief, relationships, and much more. I draw dynamically from a broad therapeutic toolkit, adapting therapy to meet your specific needs. These include:
-
Person-centred therapy - offering empathy, respect, and non-judgmental support.
-
Psychodynamic insight - exploring how past experiences shape current emotions and behaviour.
-
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) - to help reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and create positive change.
-
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) - exploring the protective and wounded parts within you to support self-awareness, healing, integration, and emotional balance.
-
Rewind Technique - a highly effective trauma treatment that helps you process distressing memories without needing to relive them.
I sometimes use creative interventions to explore unconscious thoughts. I’ll share ideas as we go, working together to find the methods you feel are most helpful. My counselling experience, combined with my business background, allows me to bring a warm, down-to-earth approach to my work, offering in-person and online integrative therapy for flexibility and accessibility. For professional development, explore my coaching services.
Therapy sessions are held weekly or fortnightly at the same time/day, and can take place either online or in person at my practice. Whether you’re seeking individual online relationship therapy to strengthen communication and connection with your partner, or therapy to explore personal challenges, I offer both short- and long-term options, applying pluralistic principles - meaning we work collaboratively and review progress regularly
