About Shaun
Shaun Underwood is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with money and financial issues alongside stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or worn out to find clearer thinking and practical steps forward. Shaun offers a warm, respectful approach and aims to create a space where people can talk openly about what is worrying them.
Shaun draws on a client-centred style, which means conversations focus on the person and their priorities. He blends ideas from evidence-informed approaches to shape a plan that fits each individual rather than using one set method for everyone. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable changes and coping strategies that can be tried between meetings.
In practice he listens for patterns that cause distress and works with clients to develop new ways of responding. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build committed action. Shaun also uses elements of attachment-focused work and dialectical behaviour approaches where they suit the person’s needs.
Shaun has four years of experience and holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers therapy to people in the UK and internationally and conducts sessions remotely as part of his practice. People usually begin by picking a time that fits their schedule and completing a short matching questionnaire.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process and emphasises practical outcomes - helping people manage difficult feelings, handle change, and move towards a more manageable, purposeful day-to-day life.
How these therapies work online
Shaun commonly uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment ideas in his practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities to create a supportive space for difficult conversations. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test and change patterns that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages clarity about personal values and small committed steps that move someone towards a more meaningful life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shaun will discuss what matters to the client and suggest ways of working that match their goals and preferences. He aims to agree a plan that feels manageable and practical rather than imposing a single technique.
