Shirley Meade

Addiction Therapist, in United Kingdom

“I understand that addiction often speaks through unconscious patterns, pain, and unmet needs. I offer a safe space, understanding and compassion to process these, to allow insight, healing and a deeper connection to support recovery after rehabilitation.”

Shirley is a fully accredited member of the BACP and an experienced integrative psychotherapist with a strong passion for addiction therapy, which began ten years ago as a student therapist.

Since then, Shirley has worked for various organisations that support individuals and their loved ones at various stages of recovery.

She works with adults, young people, couples and families, offering a compassionate, non-judgemental space to support lasting change.

Shirley brings a trauma-informed, relational approach to her work, with significant expertise in attachment and trauma. She supports individuals with a wide range of issues, drawing on a varied range of therapeutic models, tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs, to support navigating life after rehabilitation and sustain meaningful recovery.
