About Shannon
Shannon Brailsford is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice and a BACP membership. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to put their own needs first. Shannon speaks plainly and aims to help people build clarity and confidence in small, manageable steps.
Her sessions are guided by the client’s pace and priorities. Conversations often look at self-limiting beliefs and where they began.
Background and approach
Shannon helps people notice patterns that sap energy and confidence, then practise new ways of responding that fit their goals. Shannon draws on client-centred work to make sure people feel heard. She also uses mindfulness to help reduce anxiety and bring attention back to the present.
Her training includes psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas, and Internal Family Systems, which she uses when helpful to understand different parts of a person’s experience. Typical concerns addressed include stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing workplace issues, relationship struggles such as communication or separation, and questions around life purpose and self-worth.
Sessions are offered using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Shannon encourages a collaborative, gentle approach that aims for steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. The choice of approach can shift as the person’s issues and aims become clearer, and the therapist aims to be collaborative throughout.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling fit around life. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
