I have found the sessions with my therapist very helpful. Being taken seriously and listened to helping me to move forward and take positive steps to address the issues I have wanted to address for a long time.

Shanni has been a comfort to me, we’ve only had two sessions but she lets me rant away about everything I need to and I know she writes it all down to grasp a better picture of how I’m feeling about that situation or about my feelings towards myself. She doesn’t judge me at all and she’s managed to make me laugh which is a miracle these days! She sets me tasks which help me gain a better picture on my own feelings about myself and I’ve noticed they’re quite negative right now, I hope I can start to feel better soon I’m sure Shanni will help me massively she has already :).

More about Shanni

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • NCPS

I am a qualified and insured integrative Counsellor, I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and adhere to their ethical framework for best practice. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental, open and honest approach to counselling

Working in an integrative way means that I will use different techniques and elements from different therapy models, for example humanistic, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution focused to name a few.

I offer a safe non-judgemental space to explore issues that might be causing difficulties, in your life; whether you are feeling stuck or struggling with low mood and anxiety or have experienced trauma. Working together I believe we can recognise strengths and explore options to move forward in a positive way.

I have 18 years of extensive experience in working with children, young people and adults. With specific advanced training I specialise in trauma, bereavement, couples therapy, anxiety, neurodiversity along with working with children young people and adults who have experienced sexual violence.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
