About Shantonia
Shantonia Lewis is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings four years of professional experience and works from a Client-Centred Therapy approach. She speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom.
Shantonia aims to create an open space where people can talk about what matters to them. She focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and supportive, helping people find their own direction.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with adults and younger people on issues around motivation, confidence and coping with loss. She also helps individuals navigating relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, career pressures and life changes. Seasonal Affective Disorder, body image and social anxiety are also areas she addresses.
The Client-Centred approach she uses emphasises listening and understanding. In practice this means conversations that follow the person’s priorities and pace. The counsellor aims to reflect what is said and help people explore choices, values and next steps.
Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and session format and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on therapist availability.

Approaches Shantonia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In practice, sessions follow what the client brings each week rather than a strict plan. The therapist offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and helps individuals explore choices and steps forward. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process and the therapist will work with the person to find the best fit for their needs, goals and preferences.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, family and travel, and to continue therapy from different locations when needed.
