Shannon Woolf

I am a BACP-accredited counsellor and UKRCP-registered psychotherapist with over 23 years’ experience in the mental health sector. I work primarily with adults, supporting a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns including stress, anxiety, low mood, workplace-related issues, and life transitions.

My core training is person-centred, with additional training in CBT, hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, guided visualisation, meditation, and art therapy, allowing me to adapt my approach to meet individual client needs and organisational requirements.

Alongside being a fully qualified therapist, I worked for many years as a Montessori nursery teacher, giving me extensive experience of working therapeutically with children and young people, as well as adults. My approach is person-centred and transpersonal, and where appropriate I integrate EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), guided visualisation, meditation, and art therapy.

I have additional training in shamanic psychotherapy, past-life regression, NLP, and CBT, and hold a strong interest in healing on an energetic level, alongside more traditional therapeutic approaches.I have extensive experience across educational, organisational, and private practice settings, including managing a school-based therapy unit and counselling clients aged 16–70. I currently work as an affiliate counsellor for multiple EAP providers, offering short- and medium-term therapeutic support within professional and ethical frameworks.

My practice is grounded, confidential, and solution-focused, with an emphasis on resilience, insight, and client empowerment.

I devote my time to private practice and to accepting referrals from Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) providers.

I offer consultations via Zoom, What's App, FaceTime and telephone.

I offer a free initial 15-minute telephone consultation, giving you the opportunity to briefly discuss your therapeutic needs and see whether working together feels right for you.
