Therapeutic approaches and online support
Shaun uses several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility - it is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and coping with difficult thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early connections influence current emotional responses - it supports work on intimacy, relationship difficulties, grief, and feelings of abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and building practical strategies to change them - it can be effective for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and managing everyday stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shaun works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. He adjusts techniques over time so the work feels relevant and accessible.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access care from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, a range of communication styles to suit individual comfort, and consistent access to licensed professionals who can support progress between sessions.
