About Shanni
Shanni Hurton is a counsellor who uses an integrative, practical approach to support people facing depression, anxiety and stress. She works in straightforward language and focuses on helping people notice what is getting in the way and find steps they can try. Shanni has 16 years of experience and holds NCPS, which is the National Counselling Society registration listed in her profile.
She blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and simple strategies, alongside time to talk through difficult feelings and experiences. The style is down-to-earth rather than clinical. Shanni often helps people who are dealing with grief, trauma and relationship or intimacy-related worries.
She also supports those working on self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, addiction, ADHD or major life changes. Practical issues such as communication problems, caring stress and chronic illness are also part of her practice. Her approach aims to identify small, manageable changes that can make daily life easier.
Shanni uses motivational interviewing to build commitment and solution-focused tools to spot what already works. Trauma-informed methods are used when past events are part of the problem. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
People in the United Kingdom can follow the site process to start a match and schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. The therapist will work with the client to pick and adapt methods based on their goals, situation and preferences. That means techniques can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual connection, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat gives quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
