About Shane

Shane Carter is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and self-esteem concerns. He also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, workplace stress and life changes. Shane works with people who are navigating ADHD-related challenges and young adult issues too.

He offers a calm and relaxed presence in sessions. People can speak freely and use words, images, drawing or music to express themselves if that helps.

Background and approach

Shane focuses on the client as a whole and aims to build on existing strengths. Sessions are straightforward and down to earth. He listens closely and will sometimes gently challenge a perspective to help someone see a situation differently.

This is offered carefully, when it feels appropriate and helpful for progress. Shane pays attention to what is happening now, while also tracing how past experiences influence current feelings and reactions. He can help identify learned patterns, triggers and the origins of difficult emotions so they become easier to understand and manage.

He is active in between sessions and uses messaging to check in, share worksheets and support goal setting. Shane is a BACP counsellor and brings four years of practice to his work. He aims to help people move toward clearer thinking and better daily coping.

Ways of working Shane names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Shane uses client-centred work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what comes up and helps the client follow their own pace. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, low self-worth and relationship concerns because it centres the person's experience and strengths.

Shane will work collaboratively to find the best way forward. He prioritises listening first and then suggests ways to try things differently, including gentle challenge when it seems useful. Together they decide which methods suit the individual's needs and goals rather than imposing a single technique.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family life. Video lets people see non-verbal cues and keep a fuller conversational flow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter option. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions and sharing worksheets or exercises. These choices help people stay consistent with therapy while matching practical needs and personal preferences.
