About Shaun

Shaun Brant is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and low mood. Sessions are conducted in English and Shaun accepts international clients.

Shaun uses practical, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred techniques to identify patterns that keep problems going. He also offers hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing as tools when those methods fit a person's goals.

In sessions Shaun listens to the story each person brings and helps turn that into concrete steps. That might mean testing a different way of thinking, trying a new behaviour, or practising a short exercise between meetings. He keeps sessions focused on small, achievable changes that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Shaun has particular experience with issues such as sleeping problems, eating and body image concerns, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also works with people facing relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges, and substance misuse.

People who choose Shaun can expect a straightforward, goal-focused approach. He asks about practical priorities early on and checks progress as work continues. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Shaun commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break problems into clear thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT sessions online can focus on identifying thought patterns, planning small behavioural experiments, and reviewing results between meetings. He also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s perspective and practical goals, offering space to talk through what matters most.

Hypnotherapy is offered as another option and is explained in simple terms during assessment. It is presented as a technique for focused relaxation and suggestion to support change, which some people find useful for habits, anxiety or sleep-related issues. Shaun discusses which approaches suit a person during the first meetings and decides collaboratively what to try first.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to choose quieter surroundings, turn off video for lower bandwidth, or schedule sessions across different time zones when working with an international therapist.
