Shaun Brant

Shaun Brant is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. He values the person's own knowledge of their life and helps them build on their strengths. Shaun lists areas such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stresses, anger and self-esteem among his focus areas.

Shaun has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS as his listed credential. He frames therapy as a partnership and encourages people to take small steps that feel manageable. He emphasises practical choices and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

In sessions he will listen closely and help people clarify what matters most to them. He uses approaches that include Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way. He also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas where they seem helpful.

People who come to Shaun can expect straightforward conversation about goals and options. He aims to support people through difficult life events and helps them build coping tools for everyday challenges. Shaun encourages clients to pace work according to what feels achievable.

For anyone feeling overwhelmed by anger, loss, addiction or stress, Shaun offers a calm, steady way of working. He helps people find realistic next steps and keeps the focus on what the person wants to achieve.

How Shaun uses different approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the person's lead, listens closely and helps them make choices that fit their life. This approach is useful for building trust and working through feelings like anger, grief or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours that keep problems going. It works well for anxiety, stress, sleeping issues and many everyday habits by teaching practical strategies and small behavioural experiments.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change, such as when dealing with addictions or unhealthy patterns. It uses reflective conversation to build someone’s own reasons for change and to plan manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's goals, preferences and pace. He treats the choice of techniques as a collaborative decision so the client feels involved in planning the work.

If you are thinking about online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. Some approaches suit shorter check-ins while others use longer conversations, and Shaun will help design a schedule that fits everyday life.
