About Shona
Shona Moncrieff is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety and stress. She sees clients who are coping with trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and supports those dealing with low self-esteem, loss of motivation and confidence. She works from the view that clients are the experts on their own lives and already have strengths to draw on.
Shona draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small meaningful steps.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. She also uses attachment-based ideas when past relationships affect current feelings. Her style is warm and direct.
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Shona invites people to bring what matters most to them and to work at a pace that feels manageable. Shona has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential.
She practises from the United Kingdom and conducts work in English. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People start by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a time that suits them.
Subscription plans cover sessions and can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will listen to your goals and preferences, and together you will try methods that suit your situation. Sessions can adapt over time as needs change, and choices are revisited in conversation so you remain involved in planning.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be faster to arrange and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
