Background and approach
He mixes direct teaching with conversational reflection so people can make clearer choices about their lives. In sessions he uses clear language and storytelling to reframe difficult experiences. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns.
He also draws from Existential and Narrative ideas to help people find meaning and re-author their own stories. People can expect an interactive approach that combines learning with gentle challenge. Shane asks questions, offers alternative perspectives, and works with clients to try new ways of handling problems.
He favors short, practical steps alongside deeper conversation when needed. If someone wants to start, he guides them through deciding goals and next actions. The process is collaborative and paced to fit each person.
Shane invites people to share their story and to figure out what works next for their life.
How Shane’s Approaches Work Online
Shane often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small experiments that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change routines.He also draws on Narrative Therapy, which helps people tell and reshape their life stories. This approach is useful for anyone who feels stuck in a limiting story and wants to see different possibilities for their identity or relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Shane will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust as needed. The plan evolves based on what helps most, so clients are involved at every step.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, travel, or work schedules. The variety of formats also lets people pick how they feel safest and most comfortable when talking about difficult topics, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
