In-person and online therapy based in Leeds
Hello, and welcome to my website.
My name is Shona Lowe. I am psychotherapist offering individual therapy for adults (18 years of
age or over). The issues I commonly work with include trauma recovery, relationship difficulties,
bereavement, anxiety and depression, burnout and stress.
I work collaboratively with individuals to help them to understand themselves and their lives better, to support them to make changes, or to recover from loss or trauma.
Clients see me in-person at my private practice in east Leeds or online by video call.
Please feel free to contact me for an introductory phone call (up to 15 minutes) to discuss therapy with me. If we both feel I can help you, we would agree to meet for an initial session for an assessment of what you need.

My Approach
I work within an integrative psychotherapeutic model applying humanistic, developmental and relational theories. My way of
working is compassion-based, trauma-informed and influenced by neuropsychology. These aspects of my approach enable me
to support your growing understanding of your situation and to identify what supports and helps you.
The therapeutic effect of the therapy is enhanced by a supportive, collaborative relationship between me and you. In my practice, this involves getting to know you and your experiences and sustaining a collaboration between us in order to promote positive therapeutic process and work towards growth and change

Special Interests & Experience
Bereavement and loss:
Loss can be experienced in many different
ways in our lives and navigating the impact of
loss can be challenging and painful. I support
clients in bereavement, including traumatic
losses. In the loss of a relationship through
relationship breakdown, separation or
divorce, part of coming to terms with the loss
might be about understanding patterns in
relationships. These patterns can undermine
the health of relationships and therefore our
happiness in them. Such insights can support
us to begin to create healthier relationships.
Trauma recovery and post trauma legacy:
I support clients in recovery from trauma and
with the legacy of trauma in their lives. I offer
a compassion-based, empowering approach
to living fully after trauma.
Health and chronic illness:
In my therapy work understanding the links
between physical and psychological health is
an area of importance in understanding a
person’s current wellbeing. I work with clients
to understand what they are experiencing in
themselves. This may involve attending to
issues of self-worth, self-esteem, or loss.
