I've found Shelley’s sessions so helpful. I was really scared to start therapy as I had a lot of hard things I was going through at the time. Through my sessions with Shelley she has helped me to discover my own neurodivergence and get an official autistic diagnosis at 28 after years of struggling with anxiety. This is helping me to set better boundaries and coping mechanisms for myself. Shelley is Very easy to talk to and makes me feel at ease when I'm in a session.

I've been seeing Shelley for over 2 years. I found it easy to talk to her from the outset and she continues to help me through some tough times. She's very good at holding up a mirror to allow me to see myself, helping me become more self-aware. She's been invaluable.

I was reluctant to engage in counselling but after some previous trauma that was triggered by family bereavement I decided it was time to open Pandora's box. I reached out to Shelley and was immediately put at ease. Talking to Shelley is like being with an old friend. I feel I can be open and honest and am supported in a non-judgemental way to make personal targets to help me move forward.

Shelley was part of my team of highly skilled therapists and was extremely successful in helping people to overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. Shelley is warm, funny, nurturing, professional and very knowledgeable! Shelley's life experience is valuable and her passion for helping others shines through everything she does. Shelley works with both adults and children including those who are neurodivergent. I would highly recommend her services.

Shelley significantly helped both my son and I during a very difficult time of recovery from Narcissistic abuse. This form of abuse is so insidious and hard to understand and the effects of it are so deep. I feel that there is still a lack of specialist understanding of this type of abuse and it was amazing to have Shelley to talk to and have what I have been through and am still going through fully understood. I felt like a weight was lifted. Shelley is a great listener, very empathetic and has a firm yet nurturing style which makes you trust her. My son liked spending time with her. After what he has been though he struggles to trust many people but me, but he opened up to Shelley and she brought things out of him which really helped. I would recommend Shelley to anyone going through what we have.

Shelley has been absolutely fantastic, I came to her with one issue that then turned into a lot more over the time I was in session with her. She supported me through a difficult few months and was always kind and patient, she gave me a sounding board and helped me to see things in a different light which has helped me to start coming to terms with the issues. Shelley has helped me to see myself in a different light and focus on the good things that I do. I can't thank her enough for the support she has given me.

This letter serves as a strong recommendation for Shelley Jones as a counsellor. Immediately, Shelley was able to put me at ease and uphold confidentiality, which enabled us begin to develop our relationship. The setting for our sessions was mutually agreed and Shelley was very adaptable and available. Sharing painful experiences, although difficult, was made easier through Shelley’s ability to gain my trust and build a rapport with me. Being completely open with her during sessions ensured that she was able to identify the specific counselling needs I required and could recommend relevant strategies to support me. She inherently knew when to listen, when to interject and when to pose questions. Furthermore, she would paraphrase or summarise my thoughts, detailing the crucial elements which were key to my improved mental well-being. I am grateful to Shelley for her kindness, non-judgemental nature which has enabled me to make great progress with regards to my emotional health.

I cannot thank Shelley enough for her support and guidance within the primary school community and would recommend her counselling service to anyone needing time and space to talk things through when life has become difficult. Shelley has provided a vital service which has improved the lives of so many individuals raising the pupil's confidence and self-esteem to overcome challenging times in their lives- the old cliche says 'talking through your problems helps' – well it's certainly true!

Shelley has been absolutely fantastic with my Son, she gave him confidence to talk freely about his troubles, knowing he was able to feel safe & have trust in her. Since his sessions I have seen a huge difference in him, almost like a massive weight has been lifted off his shoulders! Thank you Shelley, you certainly have helped him out of a dark place.
