About Shona
Shona Moncrieff helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addiction, grief and relationship or intimacy issues.

She is named in the first paragraph so readers know who they are reading about. Shona works in a straightforward, person-focused way.
Background and approach
She sees people as the experts on their own lives and looks for the strengths already present. Sessions aim to build practical skills people can use between meetings. The tone is warm and accepting, inviting people to bring whatever they are feeling.
Her background includes three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Much of her work to date has supported people living with trauma and adverse childhood experiences. Shona uses a trauma-informed stance, which means she pays close attention to how past harm can affect current coping and relationships.
She draws on several well-known approaches to therapy, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods. These approaches are used to help people manage difficult feelings, change unhelpful patterns and strengthen important relationships with themselves and others. Shona is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Sessions are offered in English. The focus is on practical, step-by-step work so people feel more able to handle daily challenges and move towards the life they want.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Shona will work with each person to decide which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier if camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options help people access support from where they are in the United Kingdom and make it simpler to book regular sessions around work, caring duties or travel.
