Background and approach
This keeps the sessions focused and practical rather than vague. Shaun uses person-centred ideas alongside mindfulness and solution-focused methods to tackle specific problems. He also brings somatic and trauma-focused practices into his work when bodily symptoms or painful experiences need attention.
These methods are chosen to match what each person brings into the room. His background includes roles in voluntary and personal settings and work with Mind branches in different regions. He has experience running recovery groups and facilitating support gatherings for obsessive-compulsive related issues.
Shaun has also been involved with hospital-based recovery group work for people with treatment-resistant difficulties. Shaun holds a Foundation Degree of Science in person-centred counselling from Brighton University and is studying for a Bachelor of Science in the same subject. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP.

How Shaun uses therapeutic approaches online
Shaun blends person-centred counselling with mindfulness and solution-focused methods to meet people where they are. Person-centred counselling means the therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead, helping people clarify what matters most in their life. Mindfulness practice introduces simple attention exercises and grounding techniques to reduce rumination and ease anxiety. Solution-focused work emphasises practical steps and small changes that move someone toward clear goals.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Shaun will discuss options with each person and adapt the mix of methods to match the client’s needs, aims and preferences. He checks in regularly so the work stays relevant and useful rather than fixed to a single method.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling work, family or mobility limits. Video calls let visual cues guide the session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or video is not needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and written reflections between sessions. These formats support continuity of care without needing to travel, and they make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
