About Shaun

Shaun Brant is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works from a person-centred perspective and supports people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and other difficult life moments. Shaun believes people know their own story and brings a respectful, down-to-earth approach to sessions.

He often uses client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot patterns and try small changes. Shaun also draws on motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change, and on psychodynamic thinking to look at long-standing relationship patterns where helpful. Hypnotherapy may be offered as another option depending on a person’s goals.

Shaun typically helps people who are struggling with depression, loss, sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem and the fallout from trauma. He also supports those dealing with parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges and communication or commitment worries. Additional focus areas include ageing and geriatric issues, blended family concerns and problems linked to substance use.

Sessions aim to be practical and respectful. Shaun listens for strengths and helps people set small, achievable steps. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s priorities shape the work.

Shaun works in English and accepts international clients. He is registered with NCPS, which appears as his listed credential, and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How Shaun's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience, offering empathy and practical listening to help them find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed by stress, grief or life changes and wants a supportive space to talk.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect, and uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and patterns that keep returning.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of strengthening a person’s own reasons for change, useful when tackling addictions or making difficult lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will help you decide which methods fit your goals, needs and preferences. He treats this as a joint process and adjusts techniques as you progress.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to see a therapist while living abroad, with sessions scheduled to suit everyday life.
