Shaun Brant, NCPS

Shaun Brant is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people navigate hard times. He works from the idea that each person knows their own story best and brings strengths to the room. Shaun encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life and helps clients find clearer direction.

With four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Shaun has supported people facing stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and low mood. He also works with concerns around sleep, eating, parenting, anger, self-esteem and life changes, including ADHD-related challenges. His practice includes additional focus areas such as body image, communication problems and commitment issues.

Shaun draws on several approaches to shape sessions, tailoring the work to each person. He uses client-centred listening to understand what matters to the individual. He may introduce cognitive behavioural techniques to break unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are available as complementary methods when appropriate.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Shaun helps people set small goals, try new ways of coping and review what does and does not work. He offers a calm, straightforward style and encourages honest conversation about setbacks and progress.

People who want to begin can expect a short matching questionnaire and guidance on next steps. Shaun accepts clients internationally and conducts work in English. He holds the NCPS credential in the United Kingdom.

How Shaun's approaches translate to online work

Shaun blends person-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and may use hypnotherapy where it fits the client's goals. Person-centred work focuses on understanding the individual's perspective and priorities, which helps build trust and clear goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours to develop practical coping steps and reduce unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy can be used as an adjunct to support behavioural change and relaxation when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shaun discusses options with each person and adapts the mix based on their needs, goals and preferences. He aims to make this a collaborative process so the client feels involved in deciding what to try and when to change course.

Please confirm available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives options for quieter surroundings or phone-only conversations if that better suits a person's situation. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use online work to keep continuity of care across locations, but the exact practical arrangements should be checked when arranging sessions.
