Shona Moncrieff

Shona Moncrieff is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with anger alongside related concerns such as stress, anxiety and trauma. She welcomes clients who are struggling with low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties and issues linked to addiction or sleep. Her approach invites people to bring their whole story and begins with listening to what matters to them now.

Shona uses a mix of well-known therapeutic methods to meet each person's needs. That means sessions may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based thinking, depending on the issue. She works in a trauma-informed way and often helps people who have experienced adverse childhood events process those effects.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them spot strengths they may have missed. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as exploring feelings and patterns that get in the way of change.

Shona has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. That is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted here as her recognised credential. She offers a welcoming space for people to talk through painful events and learn new coping ways.

People usually start by noting what they want to change and then working at a pace that suits them. Shona can support work on parenting stress, career worries, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue alongside anger and mood concerns.

Approaches that suit online therapy sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about. It helps when people feel stuck by rumination, anger or avoidance and want concrete steps to follow. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand repeated reactions in close relationships and develop different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and encourages a respectful, non-judgemental space for talking and reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, needs and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as you make progress or face new challenges.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work from familiar surroundings and choose what works best for them while exploring anger, trauma and mood concerns with a registered professional.
