About

Ms Sheila Doran is a trained psychotherapist holding a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and brings a compassionate, holistic perspective to her work, with particular expertise in psycho-spiritual approaches. Her practice is grounded in the belief that emotional wellbeing is deeply connected to both psychological and spiritual dimensions of the self, allowing her to support clients in achieving meaningful and lasting change.
She works with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, and loss, as well as challenges related to identity, self-esteem, relationships, and personal development. Sheila also has experience supporting individuals navigating complex life circumstances such as abuse, adoption, cancer, and work-related stress, alongside women’s issues and obsessive patterns of thinking or behaviour.
Sheila’s integrative approach draws on multiple therapeutic modalities, including humanistic and person-centred therapies, psychodynamic insight, and solution-focused brief therapy. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help clients develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. By tailoring her approach to each individual, she creates a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
