About Sheree

Sheree James is a PACFA counsellor with 25 years' experience helping people navigate difficult times. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a practical style that aims to make therapy useful and clear. Sheree listens without judgement and focuses on the changes people want to make in their relationships and daily life.

Sheree specialises in issues connected to family and parenting, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, mood difficulties and workplace conflict. Her experience includes work with pregnancy and childbirth challenges, social anxiety, phobic responses and post-traumatic stress.

Her background includes relationship therapy, trauma-informed approaches and more than a decade in leadership and executive coaching. That combination means sessions can range from hands-on skills practice to conversations about life direction and coping strategies. Sheree adapts what she offers to fit each person's situation and goals.

She has provided functional assessment and therapeutic support for children and young people with complex behavioural needs in her role as a Specialist Behaviour Support Practitioner/analyst. This work complements her wider counselling and coaching practice by keeping a focus on practical, observable changes.

If you are a parent worried about relational strain or someone facing the fallout of trauma or addiction, Sheree aims to help you identify manageable steps. The first sessions typically look at what matters most to you and what realistic goals would feel helpful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Sheree uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One approach is relationship therapy, which looks at patterns between people and teaches communication and problem-solving skills to reduce conflict and rebuild connection. Another is trauma-informed practice, which pays attention to how past harm affects current feelings and behaviour and uses pacing and grounding strategies to help people feel steadier.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheree will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and recommend ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made or new challenges arise.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. It also lets people maintain continuity of care if they move or have schedule changes. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can adapt exercises, coaching tasks and skill practice to the online context so progress continues even when meetings are remote.
