About Shana
Shana Taylor is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Her approach is person-centred and solution-focused, and she helps clients who want practical ways to manage everyday struggles.
Shana prioritises listening and follows the client's pace. Sessions focus on what the person wants to address and on small, manageable steps forward. She often helps people untangle relationship patterns, deal with shame or guilt, and reduce the hold of anxious thoughts.
Her work also covers related areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and problems with communication and control. She supports people coping with isolation, codependency and impulses that cause distress. Shana pays attention to how past experiences and dissociation can shape present reactions.
Shana uses client-centred conversations to explore a person's experience and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. This combination aims to keep sessions practical while also allowing space to process difficult feelings. She believes small changes in thinking and behaviour can make day-to-day life more manageable.
Sessions are carried out in English and are arranged in line with the service's booking process. People are invited to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting to discuss their concerns and what they hope to get from counselling.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Shana uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise listening and the client's own perspective. This approach means sessions focus on the individual's experience and the counsellor follows the client's pace while reflecting what they say. It is helpful for people who need emotional processing and steady support.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable steps forward. This method concentrates on setting clear goals, noticing progress and using practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can suit people looking for concrete ways to manage anxiety, stress or relationship difficulties.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor and client discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree which approach or mix feels most useful. This collaborative choice aims to make sessions feel purposeful and relevant.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to choose sessions that suit their energy levels, such as a camera session or a briefer phone check-in if that option is supported. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session length and focus to everyday life demands.
