Shauna Gilliott

Hello, I’m Shauna, a person-centered counsellor known for compassion, empathy, and a non-judgmental approach. With years of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, I deeply value the therapeutic relationship we build together as a foundation for your journey. I am dedicated to creating a safe, warm, and accepting space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

With over eight years of experience supporting neurodiverse individuals, I bring both professional expertise and personal lived experience to my practice.

This dual perspective gives me unique insight into the challenges many face, allowing me to offer an empathetic, understanding approach where you are free to express and embrace your true self.
