About Shanni
Shanni Hurton is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 16 years' experience. She works with adults on common and complex issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and parenting pressures.
Shanni uses an integrative approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That means she selects techniques that fit a person’s situation rather than following a single model. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building coping strategies for day-to-day life.
She often helps people who are dealing with loss, relationship strain, burnout or transitions at home and work. Conversations typically look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and then test small changes that can reduce stress and improve functioning. Motivation and short-term goal work are used when people want focused progress.
Shanni also works with issues around attachment, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems. She can support people facing divorce, guilt or shame, impulsivity, isolation, midlife concerns and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are delivered in English. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, people are asked to use the site’s online process to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first appointment.
How sessions work
How Shanni uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Shanni commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting. Solution-focused work emphasises small, practical steps and clear goals to create quick, manageable change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new needs emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered and accredited professionals often use these benefits to help clients maintain momentum while balancing family and work commitments.
