Counselling
Sheela Udvarlaky
Dip.Couns. MBACP
Hello and welcome, my name is Sheela I am a qualified integrative counsellor.
Whether you are looking for support with a particular issue, or you simply want to understand yourself more fully, therapy can offer a place to pause, reflect, and feel supported. In my practice, I draw from a combination of strategies, including person-centred and psychodynamic theories, to create a personalised approach for each person I see. I offer a compassionate, non‑judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported whilst going at your own pace. I believe counselling can be empowering, and I work relationally with my clients. I am interested in the human condition, what shapes us and influences how we think, feel, and behave.
I can offer you a place where you can explore, grow, and begin to flourish into your authentic self. I believe that counselling is a collaborative process where your autonomy is respected. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy and honesty as you explore what matters most to you. Together, we can gently make sense of what may be influencing you, both in the present and from the past, creating space for greater awareness, personal growth, and meaningful change..
My experience includes supporting people facing many challenges, such as depression, anxiety, identity and self acceptance, suicidal thoughts, sexual assault, anger issues, stress, bereavement, loneliness, relationship issues, coping with illness and chronic pain, childhood abuse and neglect, amongst others. I have a particular interest in supporting survivors of sexual abuse and violence. My approach is grounded in feminist values and tailored to each individual's unique needs. I am committed to helping women and girls find their voice, regain confidence, and navigate their journey towards recovery and empowerment.
