Shem Lopez

Shem Lopez is a psychotherapist with 12 years of experience who helps people manage anger and related struggles. He meets each person as an individual and focuses on what matters most to them. Sessions aim to help clients understand patterns, make clearer choices, and move toward their values and goals.

Shem uses a mix of practical methods and talking therapy to help people make sense of their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. He works with anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, depression, anger and relationship concerns, including psychosexual related difficulties. He also supports people dealing with stress, self-esteem and life transitions.

In sessions he encourages honest, direct conversation. That helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try different responses. He emphasises developing self-awareness so people can form more meaningful connections with themselves and others.

Shem has worked in private practice since 2012 and draws on multiple approaches to suit individual needs. He combines structured techniques with relational work to help people set goals and take steps towards them. He accepts clients internationally and conducts work in English.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that reflect those values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching practical skills to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and relationship patterns. It helps people understand how emotional responses shape interactions and can be useful for improving connection and handling conflict in close relationships.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day realities and then suggest which approaches to try. That exploration is collaborative, and plans can be adjusted as progress or needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Because the biography notes both in-person and online work, readers should confirm the specific online session options before booking. Many people find that remote work still allows focused therapeutic conversations, chance to practise techniques between sessions, and simpler ways to stay consistent with appointments.
