About Shanni
Shanni Hurton is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and has 16 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self‑esteem and career questions.
She describes an integrative style that draws on several methods rather than one fixed model. That means sessions often include practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, goal-focused ideas from Solution-Focused Therapy and motivational techniques to support change. Trauma‑focused approaches are also part of her work when past harm is being addressed.
In conversations she helps people identify unhelpful patterns and test small, manageable changes. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviours and how daily routines affect mood and reactions such as irritability or sudden anger. She also supports people dealing with shame, control issues, impulsivity and chronic stress that wears them down.
Her practice pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiving strain, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and life purpose. Work can focus on rebuilding steadiness after loss, improving partnership interactions, or developing coping skills for ongoing conditions.
Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Shanni uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that feed anger and to test small behavioural changes that alter reactions. CBT sessions tend to include clear exercises and practical homework to try between meetings.Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change. It focuses on clarifying personal goals and building motivation in short, collaborative steps that suit the client's pace.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, listen to what matters most to the client, and agree on a plan together. That collaborative process shapes whether more CBT, motivational work or trauma‑focused techniques are used as therapy progresses.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life, such as shorter check‑ins during a busy day or avoiding travel time. The original profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. That way sessions can be arranged to match schedules, communication preferences and the kind of work a client wants to do.
