About Shanni
Shanni Hurton is an integrative counsellor who blends practical approaches to help people manage everyday struggles. She is registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and brings 16 years of experience to her work. Shanni aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels hard and find ways to move forward.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy, selecting techniques that suit each person’s situation. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, not just talking about problems. Shanni often works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns around men’s wellbeing.
Her wider interests include body image, attachment and abandonment, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, communication problems, impulses and anger, and coping with major life changes. She also supports work on career questions, self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, and feelings of isolation.
People meet her for practical tools and gentle challenge. The work combines exploring how past events shape current reactions with setting achievable goals for the present. Shanni’s aim is to help people spot strengths, try different actions and build routines that make day-to-day life steadier.
Sessions are held in English from the United Kingdom. Prospective clients should check current session arrangements before booking to confirm the available formats and times.
How Shanni’s approaches work online
Shanni often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people address current difficulties and past events. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of distressing experiences so daily life feels more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means agreeing together what to try first, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can join from different locations within the United Kingdom, making attendance simpler while still focusing on practical tools and steady progress.
