Shaun Brant, NCPS

Shaun Brant is a counsellor who centres sessions on the person in front of him. He works from the view that clients know their own stories and that their strengths can guide change. Shaun has four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and trauma.

He uses straightforward conversation to help people find small, workable steps. Shaun pays attention to what matters most to each person and adapts the pace accordingly. He encourages clients to recognise strengths they already have and to build from there.

Shaun draws on several approaches depending on need, including client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural ideas, and motivational interviewing. Those methods help with everyday symptoms like low mood, sleeping problems, or feeling stuck after loss. He also brings elements of psychodynamic thinking and hypnotherapy when they fit the person and the issue.

His background includes focused work with people facing relationship strain, eating and body image concerns, anger, coping with life changes, and attention difficulties such as ADHD. He also lists ageing and geriatric issues among his areas of focus and can support people navigating age-related transitions.

Sessions aim to be practical and respectful. Shaun offers a supportive space to talk through worries, try out different ways of coping, and set achievable goals for change.

How Shaun's approaches translate to online therapy

Shaun commonly uses client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities, helping people feel heard and make choices that matter to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect, and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shaun collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He adjusts tools and the pace based on what the client prefers and what helps most in practice.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep contact when someone is living abroad, as international clients are accepted. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, check the available formats when you arrange your first appointment.
