About Shaun
Shaun Hill helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and depression by offering practical, conversational counselling. He works with clients to talk through current difficulties and find manageable ways to cope. Shaun is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what is happening now. Shaun uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and behaviour, and he pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations concentrate on building coping strategies, improving communication, and restoring day-to-day functioning.
There is a particular emphasis on addiction-related concerns, including drug and alcohol issues, and on difficulties that affect relationships such as codependency and control problems. Shaun also supports work on avoidant personality traits, social anxiety and phobia, and men’s issues where these are relevant to the presenting problem.
Sessions can cover feelings of guilt, shame or isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. He aims to break down big problems into small, achievable steps and to practise approaches that clients can use between sessions.
Shaun has built experience over four years in the United Kingdom and works in English. He accepts international clients. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats offered.
Approaches used in online counselling and what to expect
Shaun draws on established, evidence-based techniques to structure sessions and build skills. One common approach focuses on changing patterns of unhelpful thinking and behaviour by identifying thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence; this helps with anxiety, low mood and social fears. Another approach concentrates on behavioural activation - setting small, concrete activities to increase positive routine and reduce withdrawal when someone is feeling depressed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what fits best. He adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed and as goals change, so the process is collaborative rather than fixed.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around other commitments and keeping progress steady when travel is difficult. If you prefer brief check-ins, quieter conversations or not being on camera, those practical needs can be discussed when arranging sessions. The specific session formats Shaun offers are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
