Shaun Brant, NCPS

Shaun draws on client-centred therapy to prioritise the person's own goals and experience, creating a space where the client leads the pace of change. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and build confidence before trying new strategies.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, insomnia and many common everyday problems because it breaks issues into clear, manageable steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and Shaun works collaboratively to choose methods that suit each person. He discusses goals and preferences, then adapts techniques so they match what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy gives flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation; phone calls work with lower bandwidth and can fit a break at work; chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping a consistent course of care.
