Shaun Gordon is a male, gay person-centred counsellor based in Colchester, United Kingdom. He is fully qualified and has three years of clinical experience working with adults of all ages and backgrounds.
Shaun aims to meet people with genuine warmth and acceptance, offering a safe space where clients can explore their concerns. He works collaboratively, helping clients shape therapy around the directions and goals that matter to them, and regularly invites feedback so the work can be adjusted to meet expectations.
He practises in both the voluntary and private sectors and supports people facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and obsessive compulsive disorders. Shaun has also worked with those affected by bereavement, life transitions, relationship and interpersonal difficulties, self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
Shaun has worked as a Mental Health Worker for West Sussex Mind in the crisis prevention service and currently works with Mid and North East Essex Mind. Since 2014 he has been a group facilitator for Brighton’s OCD, BDD & Hoarding Disorder Support Group. From 2015 he has been involved with the SWLSTG NHS Mental Health Trust, collaborating with the Adult National and Specialist Service for treatment-resistant OCD and BDD by designing and facilitating recovery groups for hospital in-patients.
His experience has reinforced that behind psychological theories are individual people, and he emphasises relating to each person in their uniqueness - a principle that underpins his decision to train as a person-centred counsellor.
Shaun is passionate about mental health provision and recovery and has spoken about these topics in the media, including for ITN, regional news, at a national conference and in collaboration with Public Health England for Every Mind Matters. He holds a Foundation degree (FdSc) in person-centred counselling from Brighton University and is currently studying for a BSc in the same subject. Shaun is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Many people ask whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional face-to-face work for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the mode of contact that best suits them, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability often makes it simpler to include therapy in a busy life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed it is possible to switch therapists at any time.
