Shannon Brailsford, BACP

Shannon Brailsford is an integrative counsellor who creates a welcoming, healing, and inclusive environment for people navigating difficult moments in their lives. She works with individuals experiencing overwhelm from overcommitment, difficulty prioritising their own needs, low confidence, or a sense of being lost, and supports them in exploring those patterns to move toward greater balance and authenticity. Shannon is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Her approach is collaborative and client-led, meeting each person at their own pace and focusing on building a therapeutic relationship grounded in respect and trust. Sessions may explore the origins of self-limiting beliefs and aim to develop practical and lasting shifts that align with a person’s values and sense of self. Clinical methods she draws on include client-centered techniques, mindfulness, psychodynamic work, trauma-focused strategies, and Internal Family Systems perspectives.

Having been in the client seat herself, Shannon recognises how vulnerable it can feel to share personal material with another person and brings compassion, curiosity, and sensitivity to that process. She aims to accompany clients through change with empathy and steady support, helping them better understand themselves and make choices that reflect who they truly are.
