Background and approach
Sessions typically look at patterns of thought and behaviour, set concrete short-term goals and work through painful memories at a manageable pace. The emphasis is on finding small changes that make daily life easier. Common concerns Shanni addresses include depression, grief, trauma and issues linked to identity and intimacy.
She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and career stress. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment worries, body image and coping with chronic illness. Shanni works with people in the United Kingdom and carries the NCPS credential listed above.
She offers a non-judgemental space to talk things through and to test out different ways of coping. The aim is to help people notice strengths, try new strategies and move towards clearer choices. People choosing to work with her start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on availability.
Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Shanni’s approaches work in online therapy
Shanni uses cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods in her work. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical goals and on building solutions that work day to day rather than detailed analysis of the past.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, discuss options and try methods that suit your preferences and needs. Progress is reviewed together so the plan can change if something does not feel helpful.
Please confirm the current session options before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily commitments and to have a shorter check-in when time is limited. It can also allow work to continue when travel or mobility is difficult, or when someone prefers not to attend in person. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and goal-setting for an online setting so therapy remains practical and focused.
