About Shantonia
Shantonia Lewis is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on four years of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
She uses a person-centred way of working. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her rather than a set agenda. Sessions are about listening, reflecting and helping the client find what matters to them.
Background and approach
Shantonia spends time building a calm and non-judgemental space. She encourages honest talk about confidence, motivation and self-esteem. Those sessions often address life changes such as loss, separation and shifts in family roles.
Practical concerns like anger, career stress and isolation are also within her focus. She offers help with attachment questions, blended family issues and fatherhood matters. Topics such as body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame are spoken about plainly and directly.
Therapy typically looks like regular conversations where the client sets the pace. Shantonia supports exploration of feelings and small steps towards change. People who want a respectful, person-led approach may find her style helpful.

Approaches Shantonia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Person-centred support online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without directing outcomes and reflects what the client says back to help them understand their own feelings. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and decisions about parenting or family roles.Working online with a counsellor gives room to try different ways of meeting and to test what feels most comfortable. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which approach and pace feels right. That collaborative decision making helps ensure the therapeutic approach fits the person's needs rather than being imposed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break during a workday. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer to write, want brief check-ins, or need flexible times. These options make it easier to fit therapy around life commitments and different routines.
