Background and approach
Her background also includes training in life coaching, which she draws on when clients want goal-focused support. In session she uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a supportive space and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that cause distress. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, low mood and anxiety.
She also brings in psychodynamic ideas when exploring past patterns that affect present life. Shannon has four years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, as well as addictions and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
She also supports people facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, sleep problems and low self-esteem. Work is tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps and reflective conversation.
Shannon emphasises respect, warmth and open communication throughout the counselling process.

Sessions & fees
Approach-focused counselling delivered online
Shannon commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship so people feel understood. This approach suits those who need a compassionate space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. CBT is helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stress because it focuses on practical steps and manageable exercises.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss different methods and decide together what fits best with the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a more conversational session with visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit around work breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
