About Shaun
Counsellor Shaun Brant is registered with NCPS and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Shaun views the person in the room as the expert on their own life. He uses practical talk to help people sort out current problems and to build on what already helps them cope. He writes that taking the first step to ask for help takes courage, and he aims to provide steady support during the early stages of change.
He draws on several approaches to suit different needs. Client-Centred Therapy is used to focus on a person's own priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used where thinking and behaviour patterns are a barrier. Hypnotherapy and Motivational Interviewing are offered as tools when needed, and psychodynamic ideas are used to look at longer-standing patterns.
Shaun also works with issues around relationships, eating and sleeping, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. He lists additional focus areas including ageing and geriatric issues, blended family matters, body image, communication problems and substance use issues. These areas often overlap and are discussed together during sessions.
He asks people to begin by using the site's matching system and booking route. The initial steps include a short questionnaire and arranging a first appointment to agree goals and practical details.
How Shaun’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what the person brings to sessions and follows their priorities. It helps when someone wants to talk through feelings and decisions and be listened to without a set agenda.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for problems such as anxiety, low mood and some sleep or eating difficulties because it offers clear techniques to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will discuss options and agree what to try based on the person's goals, needs and preferences. That decision is made together rather than fixed in advance.
The original biography did not list which remote formats are used, so confirm the supported session options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits, or sessions without video if someone needs less bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods such as CBT exercises or Client-Centred discussion to work in an online setting.
