Shelagh MacFarlane

“I would like to express my gratitude to Shelagh for the insight she was able to provide during our sessions, she was like my guardian angel throughout one of my most difficult time in life mentally, I was at my lowest and she was able to guide me through my fears and thoughts which I was having difficulty with. Each sessions was an eye opener seeing myself so vulnerable for the first time she was able to bring out all that trauma that was buried inside of me. her strategies have motivated me to dig deep inside and be more aware of my strengths and weaknesses she help me to identified my values and set me on my path. I am now on a journey of healing and I can confidently say I have seen and noticed the changes in me. Reaching out to shelagh was one of the best decisions I have made it was a real pleasure working with her and I would highly recommend her to everyone.”

“I had the opportunity to have a consultation with Shelagh last year. She is a very competent counselor. The methods she uses goes deeply into healing ourselves.

I strongly recommend her for consultation like depression, broken heart, etc.”

“I started seeing Shelagh in 2022 through a word-of-mouth recommendation from a good friend. She was the first therapist I ever saw, and I thank my lucky stars that I had hit the jackpot on my first try. Shelagh is warm, compassionate, and a wonderful listener. She helped me put the pieces back together as I grappled with a massive personal loss. With each sessions, I grew stronger and more resilient. Whilst at home, I practised the techniques she had taught me, which will stand me in good stead in the years to come. I would wholeheartedly recommend Shelagh to absolutely anyone who needs a little bit of help.”

“As a breast cancer survivor I found myself struggling with heavy anxiety and got recommended by several people including my doctors and friends to seek help. That’s when I met Shelagh and things started to change. My hours with her opened my mind to a whole new perspective to things, life and mostly myself. Shelagh had all the tools to share. She is not only extremely professional, she is kind, caring, and it’s a very comfortable, beautiful space that she invites you in. We have explore other areas that I struggled with and I can truly say that it has been the greatest help. Every session I left lighter, more inspired to move on, go for the changes, have the belief and always feeling better within. She is a great life coach!

On a separate matter, she took on to guide not only me but stepped in and helped my daughter who struggled with severe depression & anorexia during a difficult time. I have lots of praise for her and lots to thank Shelagh for.”

“I was referred to Shelagh by my organisation’s employee assistance program in 2019 and I requested to be referred back to her again 2022. I even referred Shelagh to my good friend who underwent a very grieving loss of a child.

Shelagh is not just a counsellor but she’s a counsellor that genuinely cares. I’ve met many other counsellors who rush to put their theoretical practise and go very technical but not Shelagh who listens with full empathy and helps her clients connect their mind and body. Shelagh has given me so many tips to manage my high anxiety and I’m ever so grateful for her and her service.”

“Shelagh is an exceptional therapist. She has a comforting approach that allows you to feel safe to share openly. She’s able to take you back to where your struggles originate, which is almost always in childhood. However, she doesn’t linger there, but focuses on giving you practical therapies/techniques to manage. Her practice draws from the IFS methodology, which for me, was far more effective than CBT. I’ve referred more than 10 of my friends and family to Shelagh, and everyone has had a meaningful experience. It’s tough to come by a great therapist, so if you’re struggling with anything at all, please don’t hesitate to take the first step and connect with Shelagh.”

“Shelagh is wonderful at what she does. She’s very professional whilst also being approachable, welcoming and easy to talk to. Her techniques helped me enormously and I would highly recommend her.”

“Shelagh is a genuinely caring, invested and empathetic Counselling Psychologist. Over the years, she has helped me to explore deep feelings, overcome obstacles and make connections between the past and current behaviours – all of which have allowed me to move forward with my life. I have recommended Shelagh to countless friends, and colleagues without reservation. I, along with many others in KL, have nothing but sincere praise for her skillful questioning, kind commentary and heartfelt compassion. Sessions with Shelagh will always be thought-provoking, nurturing and healing. I am so thankful and grateful for her ongoing support and guidance. “

“I reached out to Shelagh for help during an extremely tough time and she helped me get through it. She’s kind, empathetic and caring, though she does give you a reality check when you need one! Would definitely recommend Shelagh to anyone who needs someone to listen, advise and help you discover yourself. Thank you Shelagh.”
