Shannon O’Shea is a Licensed Integrative Therapist based in the United Kingdom with 6 years of experience. She is a female therapist who offers a safe, supportive space for people to talk about what’s on their mind and to work through challenges at their own pace.

She supports people affected by trauma or abuse to process difficult experiences, manage overwhelming emotions, and reconnect with themselves and others. She also works with people who face similar difficulties for other reasons, including low self-esteem, stress, depression, grief, and relationship difficulties.

Alongside her private practice, she supports women through a community charity who have experienced domestic abuse and sexual violence.

As an integrative counsellor, Shannon tailors her approach to each person’s needs and provides an empathic, non-judgemental environment for open conversation. She believes people are the experts in their own lives and accompanies them as they explore options and find their own solutions with the aim of fostering clarity, healing, and confidence.

Many people feel nervous before their first session. Shannon will guide new clients through the process, answer questions, and help them feel comfortable. She will explore what is concerning them and, if it feels right, arrange weekly sessions that fit the client’s needs.

Her qualifications include a BA (Hons) Counselling (Integrative) – First Class, which is a first-class bachelor’s degree in integrative counselling; an Access to Higher Education Diploma (Counselling), Level 3; and a BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care. She has specialist training in safeguarding, trauma, relational trauma, grief, and solution-focused therapy, and undertakes ongoing professional development to continually enhance her practice.
