About Sheldon Reed
Sheldon Reed approaches therapy from a perspective that blends practical life concerns with deeper questions of meaning and identity. He frames common struggles - stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues - as opportunities for change rather than fixed problems. Drawing on a range of clinical approaches and an interest in how attachment, desire, and personal narrative shape experience, he helps people translate insight into everyday action and coping strategies.
Clients can expect work that attends to both psychological and existential dimensions, connecting reflective practices with realistic solutions for life at work and at home. He offers a modality called Insight Meditation Therapy (IMT) that combines inquiry, contemplative practice, and therapeutic reflection to cultivate greater clarity and self-understanding. This approach is presented in ways meant to be applicable to everyday circumstances rather than purely theoretical exploration.
Sheldon holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with a broad range of issues including attachment concerns, blended family and fatherhood challenges, codependency, communication and control problems, and aspects of alternative sexual culture. He conducts therapy in English and supports clients in exploring both immediate practical goals and longer-term personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance gets in the way of living a meaningful life.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape patterns in current relationships and emotional responses. It can help with intimacy-related concerns, codependency, and communication problems by rebuilding a sense of safety and connection in relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative and non-directive relationship where the therapist listens attentively and reflects the client's experience to support self-directed growth. This approach is often helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Sheldon works collaboratively with clients to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work over time as priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches effectively online, allowing continuity of care and the ability to work toward both immediate coping and longer-term growth.
