About Shana

Shana Taylor helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression using a person-centred approach and solution-focused techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience in the field.

Shana works at the client’s pace and focuses on listening carefully to what matters to each person. Sessions are shaped around the concerns brought in, whether that is dealing with panic and worry, processing difficult experiences, or improving how someone communicates in close relationships. She uses person-centred principles to keep the session grounded in the client’s experience and values solution-focused methods to identify small steps forward.

Her practice includes attention to abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or long-term illness, codependency and co-morbidity. She also addresses problems such as dissociation, control issues, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. These areas are explored through conversation aimed at clarifying goals and finding practical approaches that fit everyday life.

Shana offers straightforward support for people managing the emotional impact of domestic violence and abuse, and for those going through a midlife crisis. She works in English and provides services within the United Kingdom. International clients are not accepted at this time.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.

How her approaches work for remote counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the client’s experience. It involves the counsellor reflecting what the client says, following their pace, and prioritising the client’s own goals and values. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and to feel heard.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often highlight past successes and build simple, achievable actions to try between appointments. This can suit people wanting clear short-term goals for issues like stress, communication problems or self-esteem concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss aims, preferences and practical needs during early sessions and agree on methods that feel most useful. That decision is collaborative and may change as work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting counselling into a busy week easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when there is limited time or sessions that do not require video when bandwidth is low. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to make sessions practical and focused on everyday changes.
