Sheila Dommett

My name is Sheila and my work involves helping clients work towards finding meaning and hope beyond their immediate struggle while imparting the knowledge, that even in the depths of suffering, they are not alone.

I run a private practice SDC Therapy - Support During Crisis- Which offers a blended therapeutic service of face-face, online and telephone sessions to young people and adults going through mental, emotional and relational crises.

Approach

My practise stems from a Person Centred Approach with a blend of different therapeutic modalities which form an integrative way of helping. This incorporates processes from Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Attachment Theories and Existentialism among others.

I currently volunteer with a local youth organisation that offers support group work for young people in schools.
