About Shaun
Shaun Brant is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working. He encourages people to lead the conversation and builds on the strengths they already have. Shaun presents himself as a grounded, practical professional with four years of UK practice experience.
He commonly helps people who face stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also supports those struggling with sleep, eating, anger, self-esteem and life changes.
Background and approach
Parenting is one of the areas he highlights, and he offers help with common parenting strains and related concerns. Shaun blends talking therapy with practical tools. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and make small, testable changes.
He also uses motivational interviewing to boost commitment to change and hypnotherapy where a gentler, focused approach is useful. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Shaun listens first, then suggests steps that fit each person’s situation.
He keeps things in plain language and focuses on what can be tried between sessions. People who choose Shaun can expect calm, steady support while they work through problems. He positions clients as the expert in their story and offers guidance to help them move toward clearer goals and more manageable days.

How Shaun's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people lead the pace of sessions. It emphasises understanding a person's experience and building on their own strengths, which transfers well to video and phone conversations.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thought patterns and try small behavioural experiments. Online sessions are useful for setting real-life tasks between meetings and reviewing progress remotely.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is especially useful when someone feels stuck and benefits from short, focused check-ins over messaging or calls.
Shaun will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. He discusses goals and preferences early on and adapts methods as work progresses so the approach fits the client's needs and pace.
Online formats offer flexibility for different routines. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or busy days while keeping momentum between sessions.
