About Shauna
Shauna Flynn supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges and relationship problems. She also helps with trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem and life changes. Shauna holds an NCPS credential and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
Shauna keeps sessions direct and conversational. She helps people notice repeated patterns that affect day-to-day life. Conversations look at how earlier experiences shape current reactions and relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding why things happen. Her background draws on psychodynamic ideas, attachment theory and transactional analysis to make sense of behaviour and emotional patterns. That combination helps people explore where difficult habits began and how to try new ways of relating.
Shauna also offers support for those coping with the aftermath of sexual trauma, emphasising gradual rebuilding of control and resilience. In work around anxiety and stress she uses personalised strategies so clients can manage symptoms and learn from them. For parenting concerns she helps parents handle strain, set boundaries and improve communication at home.
Shauna adapts conversations to what each person needs in the moment. With three years of professional practice, Shauna continues to grow her skills and learning. Her style is warm, straightforward and focused on helping people make changes that fit their everyday lives.
She invites people to explore difficulties at a pace that feels manageable.

How evidence-based methods work in online therapy
Shauna draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps people spot repeating patterns in relationships and behaviour so they can try different responses. Attachment theory is used to understand how early bonds affect trust, closeness and communication, which is useful for relationship and parenting concerns.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Shauna will talk through what feels most useful for each person and adjust methods as goals change. Together they set short-term aims and practical steps that match the client's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well when visual cues matter and a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief reflections or when written thinking feels easier. These options give flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life.
