About Shane Carter

Shane Carter is a counsellor based in Wiltshire, United Kingdom, who creates a calm, welcoming environment where people can speak openly about stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, trauma, grief and a wide range of life challenges. He offers a relaxed, non-judgemental space in which clients are invited to express themselves in whatever way feels most natural - through words, metaphors, imagery, drawing or music - and he tailors the work around each person’s strengths and preferences.

He works from a client-centered perspective, gently supporting people to explore how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviours while also focusing on immediate concerns and coping strategies. When appropriate, he will introduce a challenge to help clients see situations from a different angle and open up new possibilities for growth. Shane places high value on honesty and genuineness in the therapeutic relationship and aims to be straightforward and congruent in sessions when that feels helpful.

Outside of live sessions he stays actively engaged by checking in via messaging, responding promptly to queries, sharing worksheets that may support progress and assisting clients to set practical goals. He is registered with the BACP - a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and uses an approachable, strengths-based style to help people move toward the changes they want.
