About Shanni
Shanni Hurton is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) with 16 years of practice in the UK. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
She uses an integrative approach and draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she combines practical strategies with focused conversation to help people manage upsetting thoughts and strong feelings. She aims to identify patterns that keep problems active and then try alternatives that reduce distress.
Shanni also addresses related difficulties including abandonment and attachment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation. She works with career questions, midlife challenges, men’s issues, life purpose and compassion fatigue as well.
Her process is straightforward and task-focused when helpful. That can mean setting short-term goals, trying small behaviour changes, and reviewing what does or does not help. She uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause problems, always balancing that work with stabilising skills first.
Sessions are conducted in English from the UK. International clients are not accepted. Fees vary by location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Shanni works integratively, and two clear strands in her practice are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying small practical changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or anger. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past experiences continue to affect current feelings and reactions, while also building stabilising skills before addressing upsetting memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative choice means adapting techniques to what fits your life and what responds best as you progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can be useful for fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel, allowing a quieter check-in during a lunch break, or using shorter meetings when that helps maintain momentum. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises, homework and goal-setting to suit remote sessions and everyday routines.
