## About Shireen

Shireen Maclennan is a qualified relationship and couples counsellor, practising in Cobham, Surrey (KT11 3BX), with online sessions also available.

Hello, my name is Shireen and I'm a dedicated therapist and couples counsellor. I feel privileged to support couples in moving beyond conflict, emotional distance, and unhelpful patterns of communication. My approach is warm, structured, and collaborative, providing a calm space where both individuals feel heard and supported.

I use tools and techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside existential and psychodynamic approaches to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours influence your relationship dynamic. Together, we will identify what is keeping you stuck - whether that is recurring arguments, trust issues, or emotional disconnection - and begin building healthier, more connected ways of relating.

My approach to couple counselling is compassionate and goal-focused. I am not here just to explore problems; I am here to help you create meaningful, lasting change in your relationship. You do not need to have it all figured out before starting therapy, just a willingness to explore, reflect, and take small steps forward.

## Meet Shireen

## Background & Experience

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in high-pressure environments including political organisations, the Palace of Westminster, advertising agencies, and trade unions. While it might seem an unusual path into counselling, these roles gave me a deep understanding of people’s diverse needs and how relationships function in complex settings.

Over time, I realised my true calling was supporting people on a more personal, meaningful level. That insight led me to retrain in psychotherapy and counselling. Today, I bring warmth, emotional intelligence, and real-world insight into every session, creating a supportive space where you can better understand yourself world and your partner.

## How I Can Help

I will introduce evidence-based tools to help you express your needs clearly and listen more openly to each other.

We will look at emotional reactions and learn calming techniques so disagreements become more productive and less painful.

I'll support you in having honest conversations and setting clear boundaries to repair ruptures and rebuild trust step by step.

We’ll work together to spot argument driven cycles, understand what drives them, and replace them with more constructive ways of relating.

I will help you bring hidden beliefs into the open and shift the narrative so it better supports your partnership.

I will guide you in creating new habits of connection to strengthen your emotional bond and intimacy.
