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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is just amazing!
She is all I could ever ask for from my counsellor
Shanni is a phenomenal therapist. She really understands where I’m coming from and the challenges I’m facing. She is patient and supportive, and has helped me through some very challenging times. I can’t thank her enough for all the support she has provided, and our weekly sessions continue to be of immense help to me! She is a consummate professional, who I’d highly recommend to everyone thinking of therapy. My only wish is that I’d started therapy with Shanni sooner!
Shanni is an excellent therapist who is deeply kind and empathetic, I feel like I am making great progress with her and would recommend her to anyone
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 :).
I have only had two sessions so far but I have appreciated her presence and support with encouraging ideas as well. Thank you.
