About Shane
Shane Carter is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of experience. He works in the United Kingdom and helps people with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns and mood difficulties, including social anxiety and phobia.
Shane offers a relaxed, straightforward style in sessions. He encourages people to express themselves in words, images, drawings or music if that helps. He will bring honest observations into the conversation when appropriate and may challenge unhelpful perspectives to help people see different viewpoints.
Work focuses on current feelings and situations, while also looking back at past experiences when useful. Shane explains how past events or learned behaviours can influence present reactions. He frames this as looking for practical connections rather than dwelling on labels.
Shane uses a client-centred approach, placing attention on the person and their preferences. He adapts activities to individual strengths, for example using imagery for people who are visually oriented. Practical tools such as worksheets and goal-setting are part of his way of working.
He is active and responsive between sessions, using messaging to check in and send materials when helpful. New clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Shane works from a client-centred perspective, which means sessions focus on the person and their way of communicating. The counsellor listens closely, follows the client’s lead, and adapts activities to suit how someone prefers to express themselves, such as using imagery or metaphor. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship issues and mood concerns by building understanding through whatever mode of expression feels natural.The practical side of his approach includes checking in between sessions and sharing worksheets or short exercises. Shane will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a client’s goals and day-to-day life, and will adjust the plan as those goals evolve.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. The advantage of remote sessions is they can fit more easily into a busy week and allow regular check-ins or shorter follow-ups when needed. Online arrangements also make it simpler to use creative tools like imagery, drawings or shared worksheets during or between meetings, helping therapy sit alongside everyday life rather than replace it.
