About Shannon
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Shannon O’Shea works in an integrative way and focuses on helping people process hard experiences and manage strong emotions.
Shannon listens to what matters most and uses approaches that suit each person’s needs. She has a BA (Hons) in Counselling (Integrative) and holds BACP registration. Her background includes training in trauma, relational trauma, safeguarding, grief work and solution-focused therapy.
Sessions start with an open conversation about the issues you want to address. Shannon explains the process, answers questions and helps you decide whether weekly work would be useful. Expect short, direct check-ins about goals and progress alongside time to talk through difficult memories and feelings.
She has practical experience in private practice and in a community charity setting supporting women affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence. That work informs how she supports people who are recovering from traumatic events.
Shannon also helps with relationship and communication problems, attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, workplace difficulties, isolation and feelings of guilt or shame. She works with people experiencing chronic pain, illness or disability and those coping with separation and divorce.
To begin, people are asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The service runs on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.

Practical therapeutic approaches and remote work
Shannon uses evidence-based techniques within an integrative counselling framework. Solution-focused work concentrates on specific goals and practical steps, which can help with stress, workplace issues and communication problems. Trauma-informed approaches support processing traumatic memories and managing overwhelming emotions, which is relevant for people affected by abuse or assault.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss different methods with each person and agree on what to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may shift as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or a lunch break and avoid travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when days are crowded and for sessions without being on camera if that feels better for the person.
