About Shanni

Shanni Hurton is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She holds NCPS (National Counselling Society) registration and brings 16 years of experience to her work. Her manner is open and non-judgemental, and she aims to help people identify practical steps forward.

In sessions she blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques. That means conversations can include looking at how thoughts and behaviours link to feelings, as well as finding small, practical steps to change day-to-day patterns.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing may be used when someone wants help finding motivation to change specific behaviours. She has worked across a wide range of concerns, including addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she supports include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, chronic pain or illness, caregiving stress, and problems with communication and control.

Shanni offers online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and the therapist arrangement. International clients are not accepted; practice is based in the United Kingdom.

To begin, a person clicks the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability. The initial steps are straightforward and designed to match the right therapist and approach.

How trauma-informed and practical therapy works online

Shanni commonly combines Trauma-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working online. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping someone process and make sense of distressing experiences so symptoms feel less overwhelming. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try out small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to current difficulties, goals and preferences and suggest a way forward. That suggestion can be adjusted over time as progress is reviewed and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be lighter on bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, family life and busy schedules.
