About Shana
Shana Taylor is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She uses a calm, patient approach and places the person at the centre of sessions. Her style is warm and listening-led, so conversations move at a pace that suits each client.
Shana works with concerns such as relationship strain, low self‑esteem, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, body image worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and loneliness.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of everyday difficulties that can feel overwhelming. Her clinical work is informed by Client‑Centred Therapy and Solution‑Focused Therapy. In practice that means she listens first, then helps people identify small, practical steps to try between sessions.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented when needed, while still making space to be heard. Shana has five years of experience working with adults. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
She conducts sessions in English and practices from the United Kingdom. People connect with Shana when they want a supportive listener who can also help them set achievable goals. Her approach suits someone who wants a mix of empathic listening and practical next steps to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of balance.
How person‑centred and solution‑focused work translate online
Client‑Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood. Online sessions with this approach give space for the counsellor to listen, reflect and follow each person's pace. It helps when someone needs empathy and a steady presence while they sort through difficult feelings.Solution‑Focused Therapy looks for practical changes and small steps that make a difference. In online appointments this can mean setting short, achievable goals between sessions and reviewing what worked. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety and for people who want clear actions to try at home.
Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the work as therapy progresses. That collaboration helps ensure sessions are tailored to the person's needs rather than following a rigid plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people take part. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat can be helpful for focused problem solving, and text messaging is useful for short check‑ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical progress and being heard.
