About Shane
Shane Carter helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anger, work pressures and the challenges of life changes. Shane is especially familiar with ADHD-related concerns and young adult issues.
He works from the United Kingdom and communicates in English. Shane uses a calm and down-to-earth approach in sessions. He makes space for frank talk, strong language, images, drawing or music if that helps someone explain themselves.
Background and approach
He focuses on a person’s strengths and will suggest practical ways to express feelings for visual or creative people. He believes honest feedback helps people move forward. When it feels right he will offer a different viewpoint to help uncover new choices.
That challenge is offered gently and only where it will be helpful to the person in front of him. Sessions centre on what someone is living with now, while also looking back at past experiences when that seems useful. He frames past events as influences on present reactions, habits and triggers, and helps people understand where difficult feelings may come from.
Shane keeps in touch between sessions through messaging and may share worksheets or short exercises. He offers goal-focused practical support and checks in when appropriate to help people make steady progress. The tone is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at helping someone reach the changes they want.

Approaches Shane lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Shane uses a straightforward and collaborative way of deciding on methods. He will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and work together to choose how to use imagery, exercises or conversations. The choice of approach is part of the work and will be reviewed as you go.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and are useful for visual material and direct conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer short check-ins, written reflection or a flexible pace across the week.
These options make therapy easier to fit around work, study and family commitments and let people try different formats to find what helps them progress.
