Hello & Welcome

My name is Sheila Appleton and I am an experienced counsellor, trainer and supervisor.

My counselling room is close to Cheltenham and Gloucester and 5 minutes from Junctions 11 and 11a of the M5, the A40 and A417.

I offer daytime appointments Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

I have been a counsellor since 1989 and a supervisor since 1995.

I no longer offer Counselling Supervision.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Pastoral Counselling, a 1 year Certificate in Creative Approaches to Counselling (Adlerian), a 1 year introductory course in Transactional Analysis, a 2 year introduction to Psychodynamic Counselling and a 2 year Certificate in Spiritual Accompaniment / Direction.

I am a Registered Member MBACP (Accred) (BACP - number 513348) and am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and subject to its professional Conduct Procedure.

As a counsellor my concern is to help clients make the changes in their lives that they are seeking. I believe that the other person has within them the capacity to overcome their difficulties, to change and to grow, given a safe place to explore those issues and work out their own solutions. I aim to provide that place and welcome men, women and young adults from different social, religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, of different sexual orientations, abilities, ages and gender.

Please do contact me if you have any questions after exploring my website.
