About Shanni
Shanni Hurton offers an integrative counselling style that draws on familiar approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused methods. She is a member of the National Counselling Society, NCPS, and brings 16 years of practice to her work. Shanni aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Her approach mixes techniques to suit each person. She uses tools from CBT to help with thinking and behaviour patterns, and solution-focused ideas to identify practical next steps.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused methods are included when trauma or abuse is part of the picture. Shanni has supported people with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works on areas such as addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and coping with life changes.
Additional areas of attention include body image, attachment and abandonment concerns, and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to identify strengths and build small, achievable changes. Conversations are straightforward and paced to the individual.
The emphasis is on understanding what is causing difficulty and finding ways to move forward. Her background combines many years of client work with membership of NCPS, which indicates adherence to their ethical framework. People who want to start can expect a practical, empathetic style and a focus on real-life outcomes.

How Shanni works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a plan together. That means methods can be adapted as progress is made and priorities change, rather than fixed in advance.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also can support people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a session that fits into a work break. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists typically use these options to help sessions slot into everyday life.
