About Shana
Shana Taylor is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low mood. She works in a warm, empathetic way and places the person at the centre of the work. People who want a calm, steady pace and someone who listens closely may find her approach helpful.
Shana uses a person-centred style that lets clients set the agenda. Sessions move at whatever pace feels right, with the aim of making day-to-day life feel more balanced. She also draws on solution-focused methods to help people identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings.
Shana has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She combines listening with straightforward questioning to help people clarify what matters most and decide on next steps. That practical focus can feel useful when emotions are overwhelming or everyday functioning is affected.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency and communication problems. She also supports people facing isolation, midlife change, guilt or control issues.
Sessions are conducted in English and Shana works with people based in the United Kingdom. If you want to learn more, follow the Start Therapy process on the site and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a first appointment.
How her approaches work for online and remote sessions
Shana uses Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows the persons lead, helping them make sense of what matters most. This approach suits people who want a gentle, paced space to talk through difficult feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical next steps and small changes that can make daily life easier, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety and relationship issues.Finding the right style is a shared task. Shana will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the person and adapt methods as the work progresses. Together they decide whether to emphasise listening and exploration or short, action-focused steps depending on what feels most useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or health commitments, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day or lower-bandwidth options when internet connection varies. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the Start Therapy questionnaire.
