Shanni HurtonNCPS

Shanni Hurton is an integrative counsellor who combines practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and everyday challenges. She holds NCPS accreditation, which she references as her professional registration. Shanni writes simply and directly with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or worn down by life changes.

She blends elements from different models rather than sticking to one method. That means sessions might include cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, solution-focused steps to try small changes, and trauma-informed ways of working when painful events are being processed. The aim is clear - to find small, realistic moves that ease daily life.

Shanni has sixteen years of experience working across many concerns. Her work covers grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger and self-esteem. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image problems and issues around attachment and abandonment.

People can expect calm, straightforward conversations that focus on strengths and options. Shanni encourages practical steps as well as reflecting on patterns that keep problems cycling. She will work with each person to agree what matters most and try manageable actions that fit their life.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers sessions in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details to make sure they suit their needs.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Shanni commonly uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice thinking and behaviour patterns that worsen stress and anxiety, and to try practical steps that change day-to-day routines. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change by focusing on their own reasons for moving forward and building small, achievable aims.

Choosing the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels useful and adapt techniques to match goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may shift as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not required. It also lets people use methods like CBT worksheets and motivational planning from wherever is most practical, while the therapist guides the process and suggests manageable steps that suit everyday life.
