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.

How Shaun brings trauma-informed and person-centred work online

Shaun uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impacts of past harm by helping people make sense of traumatic experiences and learn practical ways to manage triggers and distress. This approach is aimed at reducing the hold those memories have on daily life and improving coping between sessions.

He also practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions centre on the person’s own priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and supports people to find their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside this work to develop simple attention and grounding skills for anxiety, stress and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He checks in frequently and adapts the focus as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can fit a short check-in or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can support brief updates or flexible check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily routines while keeping the therapeutic process consistent and focused.
