Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Shannon draws on client-centered therapy to place the person at the heart of the work, offering a nonjudgemental environment where clients lead the pace and topics of sessions while the therapist reflects and supports personal insight. This approach suits people seeking greater self-understanding, improved self-worth, and help with life transitions.She also uses mindfulness-based techniques to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce the intensity of stress and anxiety. These practices can be useful for managing overwhelming feelings, improving focus, and building tolerance for difficult emotions.
Shannon integrates psychodynamic ideas to explore how past relationships and early patterns influence current behaviour and emotional responses. This can be helpful for clients who want to examine attachment, recurring relationship difficulties, or long-standing emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Shannon works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining regular contact with registered professionals and therapists committed to supporting clients' progress.
