About Shaun
Shaun Brant is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works alongside people facing stress and anxiety, and those managing addictions, trauma, loss and low mood. Shaun believes clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, listening style to each meeting.
His practice is built around helping people find practical ways to cope. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and small steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
He encourages clients to use their existing strengths while learning new ways to manage difficult feelings. Shaun uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
He also uses client-centred work to make space for a person to lead the conversation. For people dealing with addiction, grief or trauma Shaun adds motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns and boost motivation for change. He aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-focused so progress feels clear.
Sessions are offered in English and Shaun accepts international clients. He describes counselling as a collaborative process and supports clients in setting realistic goals and tracking small wins along the way.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online counselling
Shaun commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in his online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person guide the conversation so they can make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thinking patterns and behaviour, and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shaun discusses goals, preferences and what has helped in the past to decide which methods to try. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in without being on camera, and messaging lets clients share thoughts between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth connections while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
