About Schiarlene

Schiarlene Williams is a counsellor with seven years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She specialises in common life stresses such as anxiety, depression and coping with big changes. She aims to make starting therapy straightforward and supportive for people who feel worried about taking the first step.

Her work focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions centre on listening, practical steps and helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs rather than following a single method. Schiarlene uses hypnotherapy alongside talking therapies to support relaxation, reduce reactive thinking and access resources for change. She also uses Attachment-Based techniques to look at how early relationships affect current emotions and relationship patterns.

Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused methods shape her bedside manner, so conversations are guided by what feels most important to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are introduced when useful for managing anxiety, mood and unhelpful thinking.

People come to her with a wide range of issues including family problems, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem and forgiveness. She also supports those dealing with control issues, domestic violence, guilt and sexual assault and abuse. Schiarlene offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

She encourages small steps at the start of therapy and works with each person to set achievable goals.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can try online

Schiarlene commonly combines hypnotherapy with Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred care. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help reduce stress and shift unhelpful reactions. It can be useful for reducing anxiety, improving sleep and supporting behavioural changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence feelings and current relationships. This approach is helpful for people wanting to understand closeness, trust and repeated relationship difficulties. Client-Centred therapy means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and gentle feedback.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as trust and clarity grow. Clients help shape the work by saying what feels useful and what does not.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer to write between sessions or need flexible, on-the-go contact. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
