Shannon Hart

Shannon Hart is an accredited counsellor with the National Counselling Society in the UK and has four years of professional experience. She holds a Bachelor degree with Honours in Psychology from Aston University and a Masters in Counselling from Worcester University, and she has also completed training in Life Coaching which she integrates into her work with clients.

Shannon supports people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, OCD, phobias, disruptive behavioural patterns, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related difficulties, sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She also works with LGBT clients and offers an affirming approach as a female, gay, non-religious, liberal therapist.

Her therapeutic practice is primarily informed by cognitive and person-centred approaches alongside mindfulness, with selective use of psychodynamic techniques when appropriate. The choice of methods is discussed with each client so that sessions align with their goals and what they wish to achieve from counselling.

Respect, warmth and integrity are central to Shannon’s therapeutic relationship. She aims to provide compassionate care, tailoring sessions to each person’s unique needs and emphasising clear communication during therapy. Recognising that beginning counselling can feel daunting, she seeks to create a supportive environment for people to begin their healing journey together.
