About Shona Moncrieff
Shona Moncrieff is a pluralistically trained therapist and psychotherapist who combines multiple theories and techniques to tailor support to each person's needs. Based in the United Kingdom, she brings three years of professional experience to her work, with a particular focus on trauma and adverse childhood experiences delivered through a trauma-informed approach.
Her practice also addresses motivation difficulties, feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, low self-esteem, and confidence challenges. Shona works from the belief that people are the experts on their own lives and that they already possess inner strengths which can be drawn on during therapy - sometimes those strengths simply need reminding.
Shona holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and integrates that professional grounding with a respectful, client-centered stance. Her approach aims to create an open, nonjudgmental therapy space where individuals are invited to attend as they are while exploring steps toward greater wellbeing and fulfilment.
