💫 Meet Shelley

​

​

​​

I’m Shelley Murphy, author, counsellor, and psychotherapist and I am devoted to helping people rewrite the stories that hold them back and step into lives that feel true, joyful, and free.

​

My latest book, The Fairy Tale Trap, is part memoir, part guide, a deeply personal exploration of the emotional scripts we inherit and the courage it takes to outgrow them. It reflects my own journey from perfectionism and people-pleasing toward clarity, joy, and self trust.

​

As a mature and experienced therapist, I specialise in helping individuals gently outgrow the limiting beliefs shaped in childhood especially the ones that were never meant to harm but quietly linger. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a fierce respect for the human spirit.

 

Healing doesn’t have to be heavy. We can laugh, explore, and create as we peel back the layers of conditioning and rediscover the real you.

​

Since leaving corporate life, I’ve kept one promise to myself: never again will I do anything that doesn’t make my heart sing. 

Therapy is my heart song.

Writing is my soul’s echo.

 

And if you’re seeking someone who sees the “can” instead of the “can’t,” I might be the person you’re looking for.

​

I work with couples, individuals, groups and always on myself.

​

Take a risk. Have a chat. Let your heart decide.

​

Warmly,

Shelley Murphy
Author of The Fairy Tale Trap
