About Shauna

Shauna Flynn is a counsellor who helps people manage anger, stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, addictions and issues with self-esteem. Shauna works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, and with complex concerns like ADHD and bipolar. She communicates in plain language and aims to make therapy understandable and practical.

Shauna draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current behaviour. She uses attachment concepts and transactional analysis to help people see repeating patterns in relationships. Sessions focus on clear, workable steps as well as deeper reflection to build long-term change.

Her way of working mixes talking through feelings with exploring behaviour and relationships. For people who have experienced sexual trauma she offers sensitive support aimed at restoring a sense of agency. For anxiety and anger she helps people recognise triggers and try different ways to respond in the moment.

Shauna has three years' experience and holds the NCPS credential. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. International clients are accepted, and she uses ongoing professional development to refine her practice.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule. Shauna aims to provide a steadier sense of control and clearer choices for people navigating difficult life changes.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Shauna usually works from psychodynamic ideas and attachment-based thinking. Psychodynamic work looks at how early relationships and past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. This can help when anger or anxiety seem to come from old patterns rather than the immediate situation.

She also draws on transactional analysis to map common interaction styles and communication habits. That approach helps people spot repeating roles they fall into and try different ways of relating, which can reduce conflict and improve emotional control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shauna will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit their needs. She aims to be collaborative, adjusting focus as insight and practical changes emerge.

The biography does not list the exact session formats used, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with a therapist who is geographically distant, which can widen choice when looking for someone with the right experience.
