Shauna Flynn, NCPS

Shauna Flynn is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger and relationship problems, and those facing trauma, grief or addiction. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, sleep or eating concerns and life changes such as separation or career shifts.

Shauna uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present behaviour. She draws on attachment theory and transactional analysis to help people see repeated patterns in relationships. The focus is on noticing how early relationships influence how someone reacts now, and on practical ways to change those reactions.

When anxiety, anger or addiction are present she helps people make sense of triggers and build everyday strategies. Sessions involve talking through recent events, reflecting on feelings, and trying small changes that can reduce tension between sessions. She also works with the effects of sexual trauma, offering steady support while people reclaim control over their choices.

Shauna aims for clear, straightforward conversations rather than technical language. She blends reflection about the past with present-day coping steps. That combination is intended to help people stop getting stuck in the same patterns and to try different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Her practice pays attention to issues such as attachment wounds, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, codependency and ADHD. People who want to understand why they keep repeating certain behaviours may find this approach useful.
