Shaun Gordon trained in person-centred counselling and practises with adults across the United Kingdom. He presents as warm and approachable and aims to make reaching out straightforward. Shaun uses straightforward language and asks for feedback so sessions stay relevant to each person's needs.
He has three years' experience working in voluntary and personal settings, and has supported people through depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. He has also worked with people facing bereavement, life changes, self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
Background and approach
Shaun has run and designed recovery groups for in-patients and facilitated specialist support groups since 2014. Shaun brings experience from Mind services and hospital collaborations, where he focused on group work and crisis prevention. That background shaped his belief that people matter before theory.
He prefers to respond to each person as an individual, not a diagnosis. In sessions he works in partnership with the client and checks in regularly about how the counselling is progressing. This keeps goals practical and the process adaptable.
He welcomes straightforward conversations about what is and is not helpful. Shaun is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He trained with Brighton University, holding a Foundation Degree in person-centred counselling and is completing a Bachelor of Science in the same subject.
Shaun offers sessions in English for people located in the United Kingdom.
How Shaun's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist offers acceptance and listens closely so people can work out their own next steps; this helps with low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounding practices. These tools help reduce anxiety, manage stress and bring calmer focus during difficult moments.
Shaun treats finding the right approach as a joint task. He will talk through options with clients and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online sessions can be flexible to fit busy lives. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping tips and people who find writing easier than speaking.
Across formats the practical advantages are the same - easier scheduling, fewer travel demands and more ways to keep therapy consistent when life is unpredictable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods for effective work over distance.
