Background and approach
She has worked with clients facing addictions, obsessive patterns, phobias and disruptive behaviours. Sessions focus on talking through the immediate problem and finding steps that help in day-to-day life. Her practice uses a mix of client-centred and cognitive approaches alongside mindfulness.
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when helpful. Shannon discusses the approach with each person so the work matches their aims and preferences. Shannon works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, stress, sleep problems, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people with body image, attachment difficulties, substance use, impulsivity and feelings of emptiness or isolation. LGBT concerns are listed among her focus areas. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs, with emphasis on clear communication and respectful care.

How counselling approaches translate to online care
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and working at your pace, helping you feel heard and understood while you set goals for change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss different ways of working and collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find telephone calls useful when they do not want to be on camera, while video sessions help keep face-to-face connection. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to what works best for you and your routine.
