Shanne Evans

I work Monday to Thursday from 9am to 9 pm. 

I have availability to take on new clients face-to-face, online or over the phone. 

My name is Shanne and I am a qualified person-centred counsellor.

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space, where we can explore any difficulties or struggles you have at the moment or may have had for a while. 

Together we will work on overcoming obstacles, worries, pain, trauma, loss or grief. This is done at your pace, where I provide you with the space to explore, talk or simply be, whilst I bring empathy and attentiveness to the sessions, allowing you to feel heard and seen. 

We all experience times in our lives which are hard, times we feel stuck or overseen, perhaps worries take over and we struggle to find a way back or out of it. You may suffer from loss, bereavement, anxiety, low self-esteem, have experiences trauma or simply want to talk about thoughts, feelings or concerns.

In the sessions I may also include other approaches in our work as I like to work in more integrative way. These approaches may include worksheets, walk and talk. art or other approaches but all this will be discussed and agreed with you.

I believe we are all unique and individual. The work we will do is therefore catered to your needs. If I feel that you are stuck, that we do not move forward or we recognise that you are repeating patterns, then we will discuss this and find new ways to overcome the reasons why. I always have your wellbeing at the centre of everything we do. 

You will learn strategies, get tools and ideas to use when you are home or out of therapy.  Hopefully giving you a long lasting platform to further develop. 

My practice is in my home, where I have a calm, quiet and private space where I see clients. If sessions take place over the phone or online (such as Teams or other) I am able to work undisturbed, this is also in a quiet and calm space  - I am happy to show this space to you via Facetime if you would like to see the space in advance and thereby feel safe that the space is confidential.

I do not have any waiting area, so would ask you to arrive on time for your session; and therefore not too early, as I would prefer each client to have their privacy. I do leave a gap between clients to avoid bumping into anyone on your way in or out. Parking outside the house, or just around the corner. 

I have worked with people all my life, both in the capacity as a counsellor, a complementary therapist, as a learning mentor and as a health care assistant and have experience with children from the age of 2 to adults of all ages and circumstances. 

In the first session we will spend time to go over the contract, get to know another and as well as set out boundaries. You are of course free to talk about anything once we have discussed the initial agreement. 

We can agree a number of sessions you have, or we can leave it open-ended. If you have a limited number of sessions, we may have to work more focussed on a few issues or worries. We will meet or talk on a weekly basis or as agreed, and each session is 50 minutes.
