About Shaun
Shaun Brant is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related struggles such as depression and low self-esteem. Shaun also focuses on issues like parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, and blended family issues that arise when households merge.
Shaun frames sessions around the person's own story and strengths. He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing strain and what practical steps might help. Expect a calm, direct style that prioritises clear goals and manageable changes rather than abstract theory.
His approach draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses motivational interviewing to support change in addictive behaviours and hypnotherapy or psychodynamic ideas where those fit a person's needs. Shaun explains options and works with each person to choose what feels useful.
Sessions cover everyday pressures and life transitions. That can mean talking through relationship friction, coping with a bereavement, or handling anger and control issues when routines shift. He can help people who are adjusting to new households and the practical tensions that bring.
Shaun offers work in English and can see people internationally. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to outline current concerns and goals before scheduling a first session. The focus is on clear steps and ongoing review to see what is helping.
Therapeutic approaches Shaun uses and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting back what matters and helping people clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for building trust and finding what matters most when routines change or a new household forms.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, mood, sleep, eating habits and the everyday stress of co-parenting or stepfamily routines.
Motivational Interviewing helps people who are considering change, especially around substance use or other habits. It works by exploring ambivalence and building motivation in bite-sized steps rather than pushing for immediate overhaul.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try and when to adapt them. The process is collaborative and revisited as progress or barriers appear.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier - shorter check-ins, sessions that avoid travel, or appointments that fit between work and family commitments. These practical benefits help people keep therapy part of everyday life while they address blended household challenges.
