About Shaun

Shaun Brant is a counsellor who draws on person-centred care to support people through stress, anxiety, addiction issues, trauma and bereavement. He works in the United Kingdom and brings four years of professional experience to sessions. Shaun aims to create a space where people feel heard and can begin to make practical changes.

Shaun believes clients are the experts in their own stories. He listens first, then helps people spot strengths they can use when life feels hard.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on clear goals and small steps that build confidence over time. He uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. That can include simple exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage cravings linked to substance use.

Motivational interviewing is another tool Shaun uses to support change. It helps people resolve mixed feelings and increase commitment to goals such as reducing drinking or sticking to healthier routines. Shaun also offers aspects of psychodynamic work and hypnotherapy where appropriate.

These approaches can help people understand patterns from earlier life that still cause distress today. Sessions are offered in English and Shaun accepts international clients. He aims for a practical, respectful style so people leave with clearer next steps and a plan they can follow between meetings.

Ways of working Shaun names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Shaun commonly combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people online. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people name their goals so they can move forward. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, sleep problems or managing cravings.

He also uses motivational interviewing to help people who feel uncertain about change. That approach helps someone weigh options, find personal reasons for change and build motivation at their own pace. Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process - Shaun will work with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences rather than prescribing a single way forward.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video suits deeper conversations and visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or brief support between meetings. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care.
