About Shauna
Shauna Flynn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and codependency. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and low self-esteem. Shauna works with adults facing life changes, parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, and those wanting coaching around career or coping strategies.
Shauna draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present behaviour. She uses attachment theory and transactional analysis to make sense of repeated patterns in relationships. This helps people understand why they react as they do and what they might try differently.
When anxiety is present, she combines exploration with practical strategies so people can both understand and manage symptoms. For those affected by sexual trauma she offers sensitive, paced support aimed at rebuilding a sense of agency and resilience.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Shauna encourages curiosity about personal history while also working on concrete skills for day-to-day life. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, improving communication, and building healthier ways of relating.
Shauna holds NCPS as a professional credential and has three years of clinical experience. She keeps developing her practice through ongoing learning and brings that experience to sessions with a calm, empathetic manner.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Shauna uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how early experiences shape current reactions. This approach involves talking through patterns and noticing repeated ways of thinking and relating, which can be helpful for long-standing relationship difficulties and attachment concerns.She also draws on attachment theory and transactional analysis to map out interaction styles and communication habits. These methods help identify where people get stuck in unhelpful cycles and suggest alternative ways to respond, useful for codependency and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shauna collaborates with each person to agree what to focus on and which techniques to try, adjusting the plan as needs and goals become clearer.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone work without needing to be on camera if that is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt their methods so the work remains practical and focused even when delivered remotely.
