About Shaun
Shaun Gordon is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has a Foundation Degree in person-centred counselling from Brighton University and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Shaun makes reaching out as straightforward as possible and aims to offer warmth and acceptance from the first contact.
Shaun works with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, depression and grief among other concerns. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, career strain, and the challenges of life transitions.
Background and approach
His practice includes attention to trauma, compassion fatigue and issues connected to identity and self-esteem. In sessions he focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of him. Shaun asks for regular feedback so the work can be adjusted to match each person’s goals.
He prefers to work in partnership with clients and to keep sessions practical and grounded in what matters to them day to day. His background includes roles in voluntary and personal sector services, and work with NHS mental health teams on recovery groups for people with treatment-resistant OCD and body dysmorphic concerns.
He has also facilitated support groups for OCD, BDD and hoarding since 2014 and has experience in crisis prevention work. Shaun combines person-centred values with approaches such as mindfulness, somatic and solution-focused ideas when these suit a person’s needs. He speaks English and offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines and preferences.
How Shaun blends approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding you without judgement and following your priorities. It helps when someone needs an accepting space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters next. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety symptoms. It can be useful for stress, rumination and grounding after difficult experiences. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move you toward clear goals. It suits people who want short-term, goal-oriented work to tackle specific problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shaun will talk with you about your concerns, goals and daily life, and together you will decide which methods to try. He checks in regularly and adapts the work so it fits your pace and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer shorter, text-based contact or who need flexibility during the day. These options aim to make it simpler to attend sessions from work, home or while travelling, and to keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
