About Shaun
NCPS. 4 years of professional work experience. Shaun Brant works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related concerns. He uses client-centred ideas alongside practical methods to help people address what feels overwhelming in day-to-day life.
Shaun describes the person as the expert of their own story and looks to build on existing strengths. He combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as on understanding how past experiences affect present choices.
His background includes four years of counselling work in the United Kingdom and the NCPS credential is listed as his professional registration. Shaun has worked with issues such as depression, relationship strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and anger, and also offers support around parenting concerns and coping with life changes.
He also lists attention to addictions, drug and alcohol problems, and more specialised topics such as gender dysphoria and avoidant or dependent personality traits. The work described draws on motivational interviewing where change is needed and psychodynamic ideas when looking at longer-term patterns.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Before booking, people should check the current session formats and arrangements to confirm they suit their needs.
How Shaun's approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and on the person's perspective. The counsellor aims to reflect what is said and help the person explore their own goals and strengths. This approach suits people who want to clarify values, feel heard, and build confidence in making changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and short-term techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, change eating patterns, or tackle unhelpful thinking. CBT often includes tasks to try between sessions to practise new skills.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method for people considering change. It helps people weigh options, strengthen motivation and set manageable steps for issues such as substance use or behavioural changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will discuss options and help decide which methods match the client's needs and goals. He checks preferences and adapts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to access a counsellor from another location, including international arrangements.
