PSYCHOTHERAPY
I am a Psychotherapist and Psychologist working with a variety of Mindfulness-based therapies. I specialise in borderline personality disorder, Post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression.
As your therapist
My love for Therapy and Psychology came from meeting a different array of personalities through my travels and growing up. I have generational trauma in my family and, unconsciously, I believe my passion for Psychology came from wanting to understand this more and how it affected my family, as well as myself.
Now having gained more knowledge of my families mental and emotional generational journey, I am inspired to play this role for others who want help doing the same.
My goal is to listen, understand and help with reason(s) for coming to therapy that can bring relief short-term, and show you the tools and wisdom to be able to handle similar issues in the future.
I've worked with
I've learned from
- The Open University (October 2015 – July 2019) Achieving a 2.1 (Honours) in Science of Psychology. Earning me a membership with the British Psychological Society (688969)
- The International University of Valencia (September 2019 – July 2021) Achieving an 8 out of 10 (‘Notable’) grade in a second language.
The therapeutic approach I take
In general, my approach to therapy is to, together, listen, understand and overcome by being curious about where the problem roots in the mind and body and begin to use my knowledge and your experience to reduce suffering by understanding where this is coming from and achieve mental clarity that will last even after therapy has finished.
I am certified in and use a combination of, scientific-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology and Mindfulness.
My therapy reviews from clients
‘Shannon is a very good listener and great at describing concepts to explain how I can make adjustments to my life. The materials that are sent are also very beneficial to learn further outside of therapy. It feels that proper research is done before each session and that Shannon is very thorough with well though-out steps forward.‘
‘I think it's been a huge help and relief in my personal life for me to have a professional to speak to and take the pressure off "venting" to my friends. It also helps to have a professional opinion and feedback/tools to help navigate situations in my life.’
‘Shannon is extremely kind and approachable. I find it very easy to open up and speak to my issues in our sessions.’
‘Shannon, I think you've been great. I've struggled with finding a therapist that I'm comfortable with and that I feel like I get benefit from so I feel very happy that I found your profile and connected. Thank you!’
