About Shannon

Shannon O’Shea is a counsellor with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, steady space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Shannon focuses on trauma and abuse along with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression.

She works in an integrative way, adapting her approach to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the individual.

Background and approach

Shannon aims to help people manage difficult emotions and reconnect with themselves over time. Shannon has a BA (Hons) in Counselling (Integrative) awarded with First Class honours and holds BACP registration. She also completed an Access to Higher Education Diploma in Counselling and a BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care.

Her background includes ongoing learning in areas such as trauma, relational trauma and grief. In practice she supports people affected by sexual assault, domestic violence and other forms of abuse, and she works with issues that often follow those experiences such as post-traumatic stress, self-harm, guilt and shame.

She also helps with workplace stress, communication problems, and relationship breakdowns including divorce and separation. New clients are guided through an initial meeting to explain the process and agree how often to meet. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Shannon lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Practical online approaches for trauma and emotional distress

Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in an integrative way, blending methods that suit each person. One common approach she uses focuses on processing traumatic experiences in small, manageable steps to reduce overwhelming emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach emphasises building coping skills and emotional regulation so people can manage anxiety, stress and low mood more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon listens to what matters to the client, discusses options, and adapts techniques based on goals and how someone responds. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most useful and realistic for everyday life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can use less bandwidth, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and wellbeing.
