Shauna Flynn, NCPS

Shauna Flynn is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and midlife change. She works with concerns including depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges with self‑esteem and career direction. Shauna uses down‑to‑earth language and simple steps so people can start making changes quickly.

Shauna draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current behaviour. She also uses attachment theory and transactional analysis to help people understand relationship patterns. In sessions she helps clients spot repeated habits, name feelings, and try different ways of relating to others.

She offers particular support for people recovering from sexual trauma and for those dealing with loss, caregiver strain, chronic health issues, or addictive behaviours. Shauna aims to help people reclaim a sense of agency and build coping skills that fit day‑to‑day life.

With three years of experience and the NCPS credential, she keeps learning through further training. Shauna describes the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative space where clients set the pace and priorities. Her approach mixes exploration of personal history with practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving relationships.

People who choose to work with Shauna can expect straightforward conversations, clear goals, and structured steps between sessions. She encourages small experiments in thinking and behaviour to test what helps, and adjusts the work as needs change.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Shauna uses psychodynamic ideas and attachment‑informed work to help people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. Psychodynamic approaches look for recurring patterns that show up in thoughts and behaviour and help people make sense of them. Attachment‑based work focuses on how early bonds influence trust, closeness and communication in adult relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, based on needs, goals and what feels most helpful. Shauna adapts the focus over time so the work stays relevant and doable for each person.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. They reduce travel time, allow shorter check‑ins where helpful, and make it simpler to maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. Registered or accredited professionals can use online appointments to keep momentum between face‑to‑face meetings or to reach people who live further away.
