About Shauna
Shauna Flynn, NCPS, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and supports those coping with relationship and family difficulties. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and sleep or eating issues.
Shauna draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current behaviour. She uses attachment theory to clarify patterns in close relationships and transactional analysis to map how people interact. These approaches help people notice recurring responses and try different ways of relating.
Sessions often involve talking through past events and current situations to connect the two. Shauna offers practical strategies alongside reflective work, so clients get both understanding and steps they can use day to day. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, codependency, and body image as part of relationship-focused work.
People who have experienced sexual trauma are supported with care and attention to pacing. Shauna works with issues such as abandonment, dissociation, and communication problems that commonly follow trauma or long-term stress. She also helps with caregiver stress, chronic illness, and managing life changes.
Shauna describes her practice as ongoing professional development under the NCPS credential. She sees therapy as a collaborative effort and asks clients to bring their priorities and questions to sessions. International clients may be supported; confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Shauna uses psychodynamic ideas to help people connect past experiences with present reactions. Online sessions let clients reflect on recurring patterns and discuss how earlier relationships influence current behaviour. This approach can be helpful for people wanting deeper understanding of their anxiety and relationship issues.She also uses attachment theory to map how people relate to others. In remote sessions this can look like talking through specific interactions, noticing triggers, and practising new responses in the moment. Transactional analysis is another tool she uses to name unhelpful interaction styles and try different communication moves during follow-up work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shauna will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as clients try techniques and report back on what helps.
Please confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, as the original profile did not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid needing to be on camera when that helps. Many people find these practical benefits helpful when managing anxiety and day-to-day demands.
