About Shanni
Shanni Hurton is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people find steadier sleep and calmer days. She combines elements from different therapy models to match the needs of each person. Shanni draws on 16 years of experience and holds NCPS, the National Counselling Society registration listed in her profile. She works in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.
Her integrative style means sessions may include techniques from cognitive behavioural work, solution-focused conversation and trauma-informed approaches. Shanni listens for what feels most helpful and adapts tools to everyday life. That might mean looking at thought patterns that affect sleep, trying short practical strategies, or pacing longer work on past painful experiences.
People come to her with many concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, and parenting strain. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems. Shanni aims to notice strengths alongside difficulties and to explore realistic next steps.
Sessions are carried out in English and she does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
Her work is practical and grounded. She prefers clear, short conversations in session and helps people try small changes between meetings. The goal is to reduce the things that interfere with rest and daily life, and to find clearer ways forward over time.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Shanni often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with sleep problems and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on what is already working, so sessions can quickly produce clearer steps to try between meetings.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest approaches to try. Over time the plan is adjusted together based on what helps most for rest, mood and day-to-day functioning.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. When arranging online work, think about practical benefits: shorter sessions can fit into a busy day, telephone check-ins need less bandwidth, and remote meetings remove travel time so therapy can be easier to fit around work or caregiving. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the mix of techniques to suit a person's routine and the sleep or stress issues they want to address.
