About Shantonia

Shantonia Lewis is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience working within a person-centred framework. She supports teenagers, young people and adults, drawing on an empathetic, nonjudgmental style to help clients explore their feelings and find clearer ways forward. BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, representing a recognised professional standard in the UK.

Shantonia has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, depression, and the challenges of grief and loss. She also offers support for issues related to motivation, self-esteem and confidence, helping clients build greater resilience and a stronger sense of self. Her practice is oriented toward practical, compassionate listening that honours each person’s experience.

In sessions she focuses on creating an open and safe atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. She frames the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey, offering support and encouragement while empowering clients to take the steps they choose toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Seeking change takes courage, and Shantonia aims to walk alongside clients as they make those first steps.

Person-Centred Support Delivered Remotely

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, empathetic environment where the client leads the pace of change. This approach emphasises active listening and unconditional positive regard, helping people process stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and grief by exploring their own thoughts and feelings in a supportive space. The therapist offers reflection and understanding rather than directive advice, which can be particularly helpful for those seeking greater self-awareness and emotional clarity.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Shantonia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. Together they will consider goals, preferences and the issues being faced, adjusting the style of sessions to suit individual needs so the work feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, study or family life. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, reduce travel time, and provide continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt client-centred methods to online formats, maintaining the same focus on empathy and collaboration while making support more accessible.
