Shaun Brant
Practical, person-centred counselling for change
About Shaun
Shaun Brant is a counsellor with four years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and low mood. Shaun emphasises practical support and believes people carry strengths they can use to change difficult patterns.
Shaun approaches sessions in a respectful, client-centred way. He treats each person as the expert on their life and builds conversations around their goals.
Background and approach
That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual rather than a fixed formula. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. For those struggling with motivation or substance use, motivational interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and strengthen commitment.
Hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas are available when they suit a person’s needs, offering a chance to work with underlying patterns and deeper feelings. Shaun aims to match methods to the issue at hand rather than using one approach for everything. Sessions are practical and down to earth.
Shaun helps people set small, achievable steps and reflect on progress. The focus is on manageable change so that everyday life feels less overwhelming. People can expect a calm, steady presence and clear, simple suggestions.
Shaun supports clients as they work through grief, relationship concerns, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting pressures, anger, ADHD-related challenges and wider life transitions.

How Shaun’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience first. Sessions start with the client’s priorities and move at their pace, helping them make choices that feel right. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to clarify goals and feel heard.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is practical and structured, often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and everyday stress. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s motivation to change and helps build commitment when tackling addictions or lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Shaun will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adapt techniques as progress unfolds. The process is collaborative so the plan can be changed if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to ongoing support. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text-based messaging supports regular brief updates between appointments. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
