About Shannon
Shannon Hart offers a counselling style that centres on the client. She uses person-centred work alongside cognitive approaches and mindfulness to help people address everyday struggles. Shannon brings four years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS as a listed credential.
Shannon supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief and coping with big life changes. Addictions, sleep problems and issues around intimacy and relationships are part of her focus as well.
How Shannon works
Her sessions often combine talking therapies with practical tools. Cognitive approaches help spot and change thought patterns that feed worry or low mood. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to manage overwhelm in the moment.
Psychodynamic ideas are used when useful to look at repeating patterns and where they might come from. Solution-focused techniques are also drawn on to set short-term goals and track progress between sessions. Shannon aims for a warm, respectful space and keeps communication straightforward.
She tailors each session to what the person wants to achieve and listens closely to adjust the work. People are helped to learn coping skills, build self-esteem and make clearer decisions about next steps. She combines counselling with life coaching skills to support practical change alongside emotional work.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging for flexibility.

How these approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects what matters most. It helps when someone needs to be heard, rebuild confidence or make sense of confusing feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. In sessions people learn practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts, reduce worry and change behaviours that keep problems going. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce steady stress and help people stay calmer in difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process can include trying different tools to see what fits.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging gives flexibility to suit different days and needs. Video is useful for a fuller conversational session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel without losing continuity of care.
