About me
Welcome! My name is Shaunagh and I am an experienced Integrative Therapist based in Cheshire. I have worked as a counsellor within primary care settings, employment assistance programmes and private practice. I have also spent 2 years as a volunteer counsellor for local charities. As a result I have had the privilege of gaining experience in a variety and severity of mental health complaints. I have the most experience working with anxiety, relationship issues, grief/loss and LGBTQ+ issues. I also have experience working with depression/low mood, trauma, family conflict, life transitions, self-harm, self-esteem and stress.
As an Integrative Therapist I work within a number of different modalities, such as person centred, CBT, psychodynamic, solution focused, family systems and transactional analysis theories. My counselling style is collaborative, warm and compassionate. I believe every person is individual and, as such, we start wherever you currently are in your journey and tailor our sessions to suit your needs.
I look forward to working with you and help you live your best possible life with meaning and satisfaction.

Shaunagh from the get go has been wonderful! She is very kind and compassionate and I felt super comfortable opening up to her form the very start. She’s made me a very strong and confident Individual, and throughout our sessions it was evident that she always wanted the best for me , and I can’t thank her enough for her guidance and for being there for me .

Shaunagh has been a great support to me and with her expertise and guidance has helped me unpack and work through a lot of things I’ve kept bottled up for a long time. I would recommend her to anyone looking to take their first step / continue therapy.

From the very first session, Shaunagh made it easy for me to open up about what I was thinking. I always felt welcome and comfortable in my talks with her, something I expected to be a high bar to clear. She helped me identify the root of what I was feeling and taught me productive ways of how to process those emotions.
My time with her has been educational and immensely productive. I couldn't recommend her more.
