Dare to be YOU!

Shelley's background is in psychotherapy and she works extensively with young trans/gender-questioning people. She also coaches Entrepreneurs to maximise their performance.

Shelley is a passionate believer that every human being has genius within them and should be free to express their gifts and who they are and is very good at being with people who are struggling or in deep pain, and helping them to chart a way forward.She became a psychotherapist after thinking she was insane as a teenager and had a mentor who taught her about having a sales mindset, which she confesses was a game changer for her. Shelley believes we have gone backwards - more transphobia than ever before as trans people have developed a louder voice.She ran a travel business and has been to over 80 countries. Started, what was then, the largest UK charity supporting trans people. Shelley is married with two children and two grandchildren In the past, she has even run training courses on gender identity for psychotherapists in Canada with Indigenous Canadian Indians.
