Shannon Hart , NCPS

Shannon Hart is an NCPS-accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom, with four years of professional experience. NCPS indicates accreditation with the National Counselling Society in the UK. She holds a bachelor’s degree with honours in Psychology from Aston University and completed a master’s degree in Counselling at Worcester University, and she has additional training in life coaching that she integrates into therapeutic work.

Her practice has included supporting people with depression, anxiety, trauma and grief, as well as disruptive behavioural patterns, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, addictions and specific phobias. In sessions she works collaboratively with clients to explore these issues and to develop practical, individualized strategies for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

Her approach is primarily cognitive and person-centred, with mindfulness techniques woven into the therapeutic process; she also draws on psychodynamic ideas when they serve the client’s goals. The therapeutic methods are discussed and agreed with clients so that the work matches their objectives and preferences.

Respect, warmth and integrity are central to her practice, and clear communication is encouraged throughout therapy. Sessions are tailored to the unique needs of each person so that the work proceeds at a comfortable pace and feels purposeful for the individual’s journey.
