Shelly  Diprose
Mindfulness Practitioner in Barnsley

I'm Shelly (She/her) and I'm a COSRT registered sex and relationship therapist and I have worked in the NHS and private sector, taking a Biopsychosocial approach to my client's problems to help them find understanding and an appropriate solution to the issues they want to change.

I have a sex-positive, trauma-informed and non-judgemental attitude towards sex and intimacy and aim to empower my clients in a safe and confidential space.

I have worked as an advocate for survivors of sexual abuse and have a deep understanding of the impact that abuse can have on a person's sexual behaviours, fear of intimacy and feelings of shame and obligation.

Please email me as a first port of call to arrange a time to have an introductory online call. I offer in person, phone and online sessions.

Approach to Mindfulness & How I Work

I use a solution focussed, integrative base on which to learn about my clients and offer insight into their problems.
My practice is based on mindfulness, allowing my clients to manage the stress and anxiety that comes with sexual difficulties.
I use EMDR and Rewind interventions to help move trauma along and help give you psychological freedom.
I work at your pace with weekly or fortnightly sessions.
I offer a free introductory online chat.
I offer some face to face sessions
Online sessions are available through the daytime and evening.
I keep a flexible diary which means you are not forced to have your appointment at the same day and time each week or fortnight, unless that is what you would prefer.
