About Shauna

Shauna Flynn works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and other life challenges. She uses psychodynamic ideas, attachment theory and transactional analysis to look at how past patterns affect present behaviour. Shauna is registered with the NCPS and has three years of professional experience.

She offers straightforward, conversational counselling that helps people notice repeating patterns and make different choices. Sessions look at early experiences and current relationships to identify how attachment and communication shape feelings and behaviour. The emphasis is on understanding what keeps problems going and on practical ways to try things differently.

Shauna has particular experience supporting people who have lived through sexual trauma, helping them rebuild trust in their relationships and regain a sense of agency. She also works with anxiety and stress using strategies to manage symptoms while exploring underlying causes.

Relationship concerns are addressed through attention to attachment styles and transactional analysis, with practical work on communication and boundaries. Shauna also supports people with eating and sleeping difficulties, addiction issues, grief, anger, self-esteem and the challenges of caregiving or chronic illness.

Her style is collaborative and reflective, mixing exploration of the past with present-focused steps. She combines discussion of patterns with simple exercises or behavioural ideas to test change between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Shauna works from psychodynamic ideas that focus on how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when patterns repeat and when people want to understand the roots of emotional responses.

She also uses attachment theory to look at how people relate to others, and transactional analysis to map communication patterns and recurring roles in relationships. Attachment work can help with trust and closeness issues, while transactional analysis is useful for improving everyday communication and resolving conflicts.

Deciding on the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust methods as therapy develops, combining exploration of the past with practical steps to test changes between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins if needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of care when life is otherwise hectic.
