Shaun Underwood, BACP

Shaun Underwood helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship worries, addiction and a wide range of life changes. He works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting pressures, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges linked to ADHD or bipolar. Shaun is named up front so people know who they will be working with. He holds BACP as his listed credential and offers services from the United Kingdom. Shaun keeps sessions warm and interactive. He uses a person-centred way of working and adapts methods to each person rather than applying one fixed model. Expect straightforward conversation, practical coping tools and an emphasis on what helps you now. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment-focused work. Shaun talks through ways to notice patterns, try new responses and build small habits that reduce overwhelm. Sessions can address practical problems like work stress and parenting strains as well as deeper issues such as trauma, abandonment and relationship patterns. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress and body image or intimacy-related concerns. Shaun has four years of experience and offers a worldwide service from the UK. He invites people to take the first step by using the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session, then discover what approach fits their goals.

How Shaun’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, often through short, practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaun will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you can try different techniques and agree what to focus on so sessions suit your needs and pace.

The biography describes experience with face-to-face and remote work including video, telephone and live chat, but current session options should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use online work to keep continuity of care when people cannot meet in person.
