Shaun Brant

Shaun Brant is a counsellor who uses a person-focused approach to help people move forward. He draws on four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and emphasises the client as the expert in their own story.

Shaun helps people manage stress and anxiety and works with those dealing with addictions and substance problems. He also supports people coping with trauma, abuse, grief and loss. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters to them.

His practice emphasises practical steps and collaborative goal-setting. Shaun uses conversational methods to identify patterns that get in the way and to test small changes that can make life easier. He encourages people to build on the strengths they already have.

Shaun includes a range of approaches in his work, such as client-centred techniques, cognitive behavioural methods and motivational interviewing, adapting these to each person’s needs. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas and hypnotherapy where appropriate.

People often come to Shaun for help with relationships, self-esteem, anger, sleeping problems and coping with life changes. He also supports those dealing with eating and food-related issues and attention difficulties such as ADHD. Shaun welcomes conversations in English and accepts clients from outside the UK.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, validation and following the client's lead to uncover what matters most. It helps people who need a steady, accepting space to talk through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will discuss options and try methods that fit each person’s goals and comfort. That means adjusting pace, focusing on practical steps or exploring deeper patterns together, based on the client's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also make it simpler to work across different time zones for international clients. Shaun aims to help clients find a way of working that fits their day-to-day routine.
