Shaun Marshall, NCPS

Shaun Marshall is a counsellor who works with adults and adolescents on common emotional difficulties. She focuses on practical support for anxiety, stress, depression, grief and low self-esteem. Shaun uses straightforward talking methods so people can feel heard and begin to make changes.

Shaun is listed with the NCPS. She describes an integrative way of working that draws on well-known, evidence-based therapies. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with simple goals agreed together and steps to try between meetings.

In practice Shaun often helps people dealing with trauma and long-term emotional distress. She also supports people coping with family tensions, relationship problems and the pressures of caregiving. Shaun names specific additional concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, addiction, dissociation and blended family challenges.

Her approach is trauma-informed and centred on creating safety and a sense of control during therapy. Shaun says she offers an inclusive and anti-discriminatory practice that welcomes people from different backgrounds and identities. Work in sessions includes listening, reflecting, practical coping strategies and short-term goal setting.

Shaun works from a weekly schedule that includes evenings and weekend mornings. She does not offer messaging as a service. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online support

Shaun describes an integrative method that draws on well-established, evidence-based therapies. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offer practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Person-centred work emphasises being listened to without judgement and helps people find their own insights and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will explore what matters to the client and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

The original profile does not list specific session delivery formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and can reduce the time spent commuting. They also allow for shorter check-ins when that is more practical and let people choose quieter times that suit their routine.
