I am a qualified licenced counsellor based in UK and I offer a worldwide service.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, work related stress, motivation, addictions, abuse and bereavement as well as many other areas. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with empathy, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I work as an integrative therapist that uses a person/client centred approach as well as the relevant parts of a variety of theories to make a service that is unique for you and NOT a “One size fits all”

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shaun Underwood. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I’ve had a really positive experience working with Shaun. From the very beginning, he created a calm and supportive environment where I felt comfortable opening up at my own pace. He listens without judgment, asks thoughtful questions, and helps me see things from new perspectives that I wouldn’t have reached on my own.
I’ve come away from sessions not just feeling heard, but with tools and strategies I can actually use in my day-to-day life. Over time, I’ve noticed real improvements in how I manage stress and approach challenges.

Shaun is fantastic. I began the session nervous but he quickly put me at ease. I can’t recommend Shaun enough. An absolute credit to BH and the profession more broadly. Thank you, Shaun.
