Mr. Underwood has played a huge role in getting the progress started with my healing journey. My emotions seemed to be scrambled and he helped me sort my issues out so that I could deal with each of them. Through our counseling sessions I was finally able to forgive some wrongs so that I could heal and move on. It wasn’t easy but with his support, there has been progress and growth.
More about Shaun
- 4 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am a qualified licenced counsellor based in UK and I offer a worldwide service.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, work related stress, motivation, addictions, abuse and bereavement as well as many other areas. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I work as an integrative therapist that uses a person/client centred approach as well as the relevant parts of a variety of theories to make a service that is unique for you and NOT a “One size fits all”
We will work together to help you move forwards in a way that is comfortable for you and we can discover together the tools and coping strategies that will work for you.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I am experienced in both face to face and remote therapies including video, telephone and live chat.
Please contact me to arrange and appointment.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
