Shelley Shoaib Le Breton , BACP

Shelley Shoaib Le Breton is a humanistic integrative therapist who combines empathy with practical support to help people navigate change. She works from the view that each person is the expert on their own life, and she supports clients in taking the courageous first steps toward clearer goals and greater wellbeing. Shelley is licensed in the United Kingdom and holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - indicating her alignment with UK professional standards.

Shelley brings a long history of supporting neurodiverse people, with 18 years of experience as an educator and four years practicing as a therapist. She has worked with both adults and children on issues such as depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and relationship concerns. Her humanistic integrative approach means she adapts methods to fit each person, combining warmth and curiosity with evidence-informed techniques.

Clients can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where conversation is respected and collaboration is central. Shelley welcomes those seeking someone outside their family or friendship circle to listen and help them build coping strategies, clearer boundaries, and stronger connections. She is accepting new clients and works with both local and international individuals who are ready to begin therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand their emotional bonds and how those bonds influence anxiety, trust, intimacy, and relationship difficulties, offering ways to build more secure connections.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the work, using empathetic listening and acceptance so people can explore their feelings and make choices that fit their values. This approach is useful for enhancing self-esteem, confidence, and motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into more balanced patterns. It is often used for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by developing practical skills to cope with day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Shelley works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adapt methods over time so the work stays aligned with each person’s changing priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can occur via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to access support from different locations, and to maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
