About Shane
Shane Carter helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship worries and issues with self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, career stress, ADHD and major life changes. Shane’s approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at making it easier to speak about hard things.
He works in a relaxed, non-judgemental way and encourages people to use whatever helps them to communicate. That might be words, images, drawing or music if that fits better than talking.
How Shane works
He believes in working with strengths and tailoring sessions to the individual rather than using one set method. Shane uses challenge carefully to open up different viewpoints. He may gently shine a light on patterns or beliefs that limit a person, so new options become visible.
That kind of honest feedback is offered when it feels appropriate and safe to do so. The present moment is the main focus in sessions, yet Shane will look into past events when it helps explain current feelings or triggers. He aims to help people understand how past experiences influence day-to-day life and behaviour, and to make those connections without overwhelm.
Outside sessions he is active and responsive, using messages and worksheets to support progress between meetings. He helps people set realistic goals and checks in as work unfolds. Shane is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP credentialing as listed.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It aims to create an accepting space where people can speak freely and explore feelings. This approach suits worries like anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and questions about identity because it follows the client’s pace and priorities.Shane adapts that client-centred attitude to online formats by listening closely and responding to what each person needs. He encourages creative ways to express yourself online, such as imagery, metaphors or written exercises, and works collaboratively to choose what helps most. Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapy; the therapist will work with clients to find a fit based on their goals and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions, try out ideas in writing and fit therapy around busy days. These options make it easier to keep momentum and to access help from different places.
