About Shauna
Shauna Flynn is a counsellor registered with NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) and has three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, and codependency among other challenges.
Shauna uses psychodynamic ideas to help people see how past experiences shape what they do now. She often draws on attachment theory and transactional analysis to look at patterns in relationships and communication. Sessions tend to focus on identifying repeated reactions and making small, practical changes to how someone responds.
When anxiety or panic shows up, Shauna aims to help people understand what their anxiety might be signalling and to develop coping steps that fit day-to-day life. For those who have experienced sexual trauma, she offers careful, paced support that respects each persons timing and boundaries.
Work on relationships centres on recognising attachment styles, spotting repeated dynamics, and trying new ways of talking and setting limits. She also helps people dealing with grief, addiction, chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and codependency patterns that leave them prioritising others over themselves.
Shauna keeps learning through ongoing professional development and applies evidence-based techniques alongside depth-oriented work. People who meet her will find a direct, conversational approach that aims to make difficult problems clearer and more manageable.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Shauna works with psychodynamic approaches that look at how early relationships shape current habits. This helps when someone keeps repeating the same patterns in friendships or romantic relationships and wants to understand why they react the way they do.She also uses attachment theory to map out how someone relates to others - for example whether they avoid closeness or become overly worried about being left. That perspective is useful for tackling people-pleasing, boundary issues and codependency patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shauna will discuss what feels most useful based on a persons goals, history and preferences, and will adjust methods as the work progresses. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a lunch break or to keep continuity when circumstances change. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and how they fit into your routine.
