About Shannon
Shannon O’Shea is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has six years of practice and creates a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and low self-esteem. Shannon aims to help people feel seen and begin to make small, manageable changes.
Shannon uses an integrative approach, tailoring sessions to what each person needs. She listens for the practical problems under distress and helps people work through painful memories and overwhelming feelings at a steady pace.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what will help day to day. Her work includes supporting people affected by sexual assault and domestic violence, and she has experience around post-traumatic stress and self-harm. She also helps with workplace issues, relationship communication, separation and the lasting effects of chronic pain, illness or disability.
Alongside independent practice, Shannon contributes to a community charity offering support to women who have experienced domestic abuse and sexual violence. This work informs her awareness of safety, boundaries and the ways trauma can affect daily life. In a first session she guides people through what to expect and answers practical questions.
If it feels right, she can plan regular sessions and adjust the pace as progress unfolds. Her training includes a BA (Hons) Counselling (Integrative) and other diplomas, and she continues professional development in trauma and grief.

How Shannon works online
For trauma-related concerns she pays attention to safety and pacing, helping people revisit difficult experiences at a tempo they can tolerate while developing grounding skills. For grief and low mood she works on restoring routine, small goals and compassionate self-talk to steady people between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon listens to what feels most important and tries different methods as needed, checking in together about what helps and what does not. The plan adjusts over time to match goals and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people take part without being on camera every time, or choose quieter timings that suit their schedule.
