About Shana
Shana Taylor is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency and guilt and shame.
Shana practices in a person-centred way, keeping the client’s pace central to sessions. She listens first and follows what each person brings. Sessions often begin by naming what feels most urgent and then exploring that at a comfortable speed.
She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people notice small, practical steps that move things forward. That can mean setting short, realistic goals between sessions and checking what works or needs adjusting.
In conversations she aims to clarify patterns that maintain difficult feelings, such as isolation, control struggles or dissociation. Practical topics like communication problems, impulsivity and managing co-morbidity are discussed plainly, with straightforward possibilities to try out between meetings.
Shana encourages people to bring whatever feels important, whether that is guilt about past actions, shame tied to identity, or the slow strain of caregiving and chronic health issues. She will work with clients to identify manageable steps and helpful ways to talk about those feelings.
To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches can work in online sessions
Shana uses Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that translate to remote sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s pace; it helps when someone needs a calm, steady place to talk through guilt, shame or relationship worries. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, concrete steps and what is already working; it can help people notice manageable changes and set short goals to try between meetings.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative decision is checked and revised as sessions progress.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online conversations can make it easier to fit brief check-ins around daily life, reduce travel time and allow sessions from different locations when quieter surroundings are possible. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the length and focus of meetings to suit practical constraints, such as shorter check-ins for a busy day or camera-free phone conversations for lower bandwidth.
