About Shauna

Shauna Flynn is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and life changes such as divorce or separation. Shauna’s profile notes a focus on attachment, abandonment and communication problems. She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

Shauna uses an integrative approach that looks at how past patterns shape present behaviour. She pays attention to attachment dynamics and transactional analysis to help people notice repeated reactions and try new ways of relating. Sessions aim to build self-awareness and practical steps for change rather than only describing problems.

For anxiety and stress she offers personalised strategies that help people understand their responses and develop coping skills. When trauma or sexual abuse is part of someone’s history, Shauna provides sensitive support focused on regaining a sense of choice and resilience. Practical tools and paced work are used alongside reflective exploration.

People who are struggling with parenting pressure, caregiver stress, or chronic illness can also find focused help for day-to-day demands and emotional strain. Shauna’s background includes work with eating and food-related issues, addictions, bipolar challenges and compassion fatigue, with attention to how these interact with relationships and self-worth.

Shauna holds NCPS as a credential and has three years of professional experience. She accepts international clients and works within the United Kingdom. To begin, readers should use the continue button on this profile and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Shauna’s approaches work online

Shauna draws on attachment-informed work and transactional analysis to help people notice how early relationships shape current habits. Attachment-focused work looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people try different ways of relating. Transactional analysis examines interaction styles and communication scripts so clients can practise new responses and solve conflicts more easily.

These ways of working are combined with practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress. The therapist and client will decide together which approaches suit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion is part of the therapy process and may change as work progresses.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, allowing shorter check-ins around work, saving travel time, or choosing a session that avoids video when bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Registered or accredited professionals generally use online work to keep continuity and focus on the same goals as face-to-face therapy, while adapting exercises and pacing to the medium.
