Shauna Flynn , NCPS

Shauna Flynn is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports clients with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and self-esteem challenges. Shauna lists Women's issues among her areas of focus and works with people facing life changes such as separation, chronic illness and career shifts.

Shauna uses a blend of approaches that look at how past experiences shape present behaviour. She draws on ideas from attachment theory and transactional analysis to help people spot repeating patterns in relationships. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and practical coping skills rather than only talking about problems.

For those impacted by sexual trauma, Shauna offers steady, trauma-aware support that emphasises regaining a sense of control and safety in relationships. She also helps people struggling with addiction or codependency to identify triggers and build healthier routines. Work on body image, eating concerns and intimacy focuses on small, achievable steps.

Shauna holds NCPS as a credential and has three years of experience. She practises from the United Kingdom and conducts work in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

People usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions. Shauna aims to create a calm space where clients feel heard and can try new ways of relating and coping.

Approaches you can use online

Shauna works with approaches that explore how early relationships influence current behaviour and with methods that look at interaction patterns between people. Attachment-informed work focuses on how bonding experiences shape expectations of others and helps with anxiety, intimacy and communication struggles. Transactional analysis examines recurring ways people interact and helps spot unhelpful scripts, which can be useful for improving boundaries and relationship skills.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Shauna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then test methods that feel comfortable and useful. Over a few sessions she adjusts the focus so the work stays practical and relevant to what the client hopes to change.

Online therapy makes these approaches easy to access from different places. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits those who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats help people fit therapy around work, care commitments and travel, while keeping a steady continuity of support.
