Shauna Flynn, NCPS

Shauna Flynn is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties, among other concerns. Sessions focus on making sense of patterns that keep causing problems now.

She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present behaviour. Attachment theory is used to understand how people relate to others and why old patterns repeat. Transactional analysis is part of her toolkit for spotting communication and interaction habits that cause conflict.

Shauna also supports people who have experienced sexual trauma. She offers steady, practical guidance through the aftermath of traumatic events and helps clients rebuild a sense of agency in relationships. She pays attention to how trauma can affect intimacy, trust and self-esteem.

When anxiety and anger come up, she works on recognising the triggers and the patterns that follow. Sessions include talking through reactions, noticing unhelpful cycles, and trying different ways of responding. The workbook of strategies aims to reduce reactive behaviour and improve communication.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as grief, addiction, sleeping and eating issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and ADHD related difficulties. She keeps learning through further training and professional development to refine how she supports clients.

Shauna expects a collaborative process. She and the client agree goals and test practical steps in day-to-day life. People who prefer clear, straightforward work on patterns and relationships often find this approach useful.
