Shaun Old

I am taking on new clients at the moment.

I work Monday to Friday daytimes and Tuesday evenings.

The sessions I offer are available face to face, online or on the telephone.

Sessions are normally 60 minutes, however, I do offer 90 minute sessions if requested.

My sessions are £50.00 for 60 minutes, or £75.00 for 90 minutes.

My name is Shaun and I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for people to discover their way forward in life. I believe that everyone is unique and should be understood and valued as such.

Why is talking to a professional therapist better than just talking to a friend?

As a therapist I can provide, in addition to my experience and knowledge, a very rare and beneficial environment. I can offer you a space to sit and explore anything you would like to about yourself and your private world, in a nonjudgmental and confidential environment. I will treat you positively, regardless of your background or shared material. You will feel, that in this safe space, you can explore what is going on for you without fear of anything you say being repeated elsewhere, or used against you. This environment and safe space to explore and rebuild ourselves is unfortunately very rare in our everyday lives, and that is the beauty of therapy. As your therapist, I will help you to look at your shared material and help you to really dig down and get to the roots of your problems, and help you to make sense of it all and to move forward in a safe and sustainable way. This will help you to live a more enjoyable life, and will help you to find resilience and clarity. This will mean you will be better equipped to deal with any other issues you may experience in your future.

How I work

I work in an empowering, empathetic and clear way with clients, to help them to find their own way forward. I have a firm belief that each client I see is the ultimate expert on their inner world and how they experience it, therefore I will not just give generalised advice, as in therapy, ‘one size does not fit all’. I will however, listen to my clients, ask them questions and help them to explore their individual experiencing of their world. I will help them to build the tools, understanding and clarity to move forward with their lives. Whether this is in-depth psychotherapy over many sessions, or a few sessions learning some mindfulness, breath work or meditation exercises, my door is open to everyone.

Before I book a new client in for their first session, I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation. This consultation will be the time where we can discuss the client’s needs, and I will explain how I work. We will then decide whether I am the right therapist to work with them. 

At that point a first session can be arranged.
