About Shane
Shane Carter is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, anger and related issues. Sessions are delivered in English and focus on the client's immediate concerns and how they affect daily life.
Shane prefers a relaxed, straightforward style. He encourages people to express themselves in words, images, drawing or music if that helps. He also challenges unhelpful views when it feels appropriate, offering different perspectives to widen how someone sees a situation.
Work will usually start with what is happening now and how those feelings show up. When useful, he looks back at past events to understand how they shape current reactions, triggers and patterns. He explains ideas plainly and can use imagery or metaphor for people who find visual ways of thinking helpful.
He aims to be honest and direct in sessions. Shane will say what comes to mind when it could help the work, while checking that the client is comfortable with that approach. He describes this as part of building a working relationship based on straightforward communication.
Outside sessions he is active and responsive. He checks in via messaging, shares worksheets he thinks will help, and supports goal setting. People who prefer practical, plainspoken counselling and occasional creative expression may find his style suits them.
How his approach adapts to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and feelings. It involves listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and helping them find their own solutions. This approach suits issues like relationship strain, anger, anxiety and low self-esteem where understanding personal experience matters.Shane uses a plain, direct style online similar to in-person work. He encourages expression in words, images or other creative forms and will gently challenge one-sided views to broaden perspective. He treats choosing the right way of working as a collaborative process and will discuss what methods fit the client's goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make brief check-ins, goal setting and sharing worksheets easier to arrange between meetings. If you want to know which session formats he currently offers, confirm the options before booking so you can match session rhythms to your schedule.
