About Shantonia
Shantonia Lewis is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She has four years of professional experience and uses a person-centred approach to put the client at the heart of sessions. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and motivation.
Shantonia works in a way that keeps things simple and practical. She creates space for people to talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on listening, recognising feelings, and helping clients find the next small steps forward.
Background and approach
Her style suits people who want a steady, respectful presence while they work through difficult emotions. She helps people navigate life changes, losses and worries about relationships or work. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, family problems and self-image concerns.
Sessions explore patterns such as attachment worries, jealousy or isolation and look at how these affect everyday life. Shantonia uses conversation and reflective listening to build understanding and confidence. The aim is to help people discover personal strengths and practical ways to cope.
People choose her when they want a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. She encourages clients to set their own pace and to decide what change looks like for them. Small, steady progress is the focus rather than quick fixes.
How a person-centred approach works online
Shantonia uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she focuses on listening and reflecting back what clients say. This approach helps people feel heard and can be useful for anxiety, low mood, grief and self-esteem issues. It centres the client's experience and supports them to find their own solutions.In online work this style still relies on a steady, respectful relationship. Finding the right approach is part of the journey and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, adapting methods over time so the work matches each person's needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video helps preserve visual cues and feels close to in-person contact. Phone calls can be simpler when one wants to speak without video. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter conversations or times when typing is easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
