Shannon has been incredibly helpful in allowing me to come to terms with and accept that I was abused in a past relationship. I was wary about therapy at first but Shannon has made me feel so safe and comfortable in our sessions and has provided me with lots of incredible advice. I would recommend her to anyone, especially if you are struggling with a current or previous relationship.

Welcome
I am a Licensed Integrative Therapist in the UK. I offer a safe and supportive space to talk about what’s on your mind and work through challenges at your own pace.
I offer a safe, supportive space
I help people affected by trauma or abuse process difficult experiences, manage overwhelming emotions, and reconnect with themselves and others.
Supporting a range of challenges
I also support people with challenges that may stem from trauma or abuse, as well as those experiencing similar struggles for other reasons. These challenges can include:
• Low self-esteem
• Stress
• Depression
• Grief
• Relationship difficulties
Alongside private practice, I support women through a community charity who have experienced domestic abuse and sexual violence.
Why work with me?
As an Integrative counsellor, I tailor my approach to your needs. I provide a safe, empathic, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly. I believe you are the expert of your own life and walk alongside you, helping you explore options and find your own solutions — guiding you toward clarity, healing, and confidence.
First session
Many people feel nervous before their first session. I’ll guide you through the process, answer questions, and help you feel comfortable. We’ll explore what’s concerning you and, if it feels right, arrange weekly sessions that suit you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
