Shaun Marshall, NCPS

Shaun Marshall is a counsellor with three years of experience who works with adults and adolescents. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Shaun aims to create an empathic space where people can feel heard while they work through difficult feelings, including jealousy when it arises. Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts to each person’s needs. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioural work to look at thoughts and behaviours, person-centred principles to follow the client's pace, and solution-focused methods to identify practical steps forward. Shaun outlines ways to manage overwhelming feelings and to reduce unhelpful patterns over time. She has experience supporting people affected by trauma and long-term emotional distress. This includes work with those who have experienced abuse, domestic violence and complex trauma. Shaun also helps with relationship-related concerns such as attachment and commitment issues, communication problems and separation. Shaun works in an inclusive, anti-discriminatory way and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds. She aims to help clients build resilience and clearer thinking around painful experiences. Sessions are structured collaboratively so people leave with practical tools they can use between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to Shaun’s availability. The process is straightforward and designed to match goals with the style of support a person prefers.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Shaun uses several evidence-based techniques to guide her work. Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of acting; this helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Person-centred principles place the person's experience at the centre and encourage a steady, non-judgemental pace that supports rebuilding confidence. Solution-focused practices aim to find small, practical steps that lead to noticeable change between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Shaun works together with each client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made and new priorities arise.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations and to arrange appointments around work or family commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure they match your needs. Registered or accredited professionals, including Shaun, can then arrange a setup that fits your routine and goals.
