About Shaun
Shaun Brant is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He holds NCPS as his listed credential. Shaun focuses on practical, person-centred work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and a range of everyday struggles.
He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to use in change. Sessions are collaborative and paced around the client’s needs. Shaun aims to build a supportive space where people can explore their concerns and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Shaun uses an assortment of approaches depending on what fits best for the person. He draws on client-centred ways of working to keep sessions focused on the client’s goals. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical shifts in behaviour.
When needed, Shaun brings in motivational interviewing to clarify what a person wants and to boost readiness for change. He may also use elements of hypnotherapy or psychodynamic thinking where these help make sense of patterns and feelings. These methods are selected with the client rather than imposed.
Beyond common concerns like depression, sleeping and eating issues, Shaun lists ADHD, relationship and parenting difficulties, anger and self-esteem as focus areas. He also notes additional topics such as body image, blended family challenges and substance use problems. Shaun accepts international clients and works in English.
Approaches that shape online sessions
The client-centred approach Shaun uses emphasises what the person wants to achieve and follows their lead. It helps people feel heard and shapes the pace and focus of sessions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Shaun uses CBT techniques to help people notice patterns and try small experiments to change unhelpful habits or thinking.
Motivational interviewing is used to clarify what someone truly wants to change and to build confidence for taking the next steps. These approaches are chosen to match the issue being worked on and the person’s own preferences.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Shaun will discuss different options and agree a plan with the person. That collaborative process helps set clear goals and decide which techniques to try first.
Online therapy with Shaun is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
