About Shana
Shana Taylor is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Her practice also addresses concerns such as codependency, attachment and abandonment, body image, carer stress, chronic illness and related issues.
Shana practices in a person-centred way. She listens first and follows the client’s pace. Sessions focus on what the client wants to work on, with practical conversation and reflection rather than directive instruction.
She also uses solution-focused work to help people identify small, achievable steps forward. This approach breaks larger problems into manageable goals and looks for what already helps the client cope. The combination supports people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
In sessions Shana pays attention to patterns that keep recurring, such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or staying in relationships that drain energy. She helps clients name those patterns, try out different responses, and notice the effects. Work can include discussing past experiences such as trauma or abandonment when the client wants to do that.
People who choose her often want practical change alongside emotional understanding. Shana encourages short-term practical goals as well as longer conversations about meaning and identity. To start, clients follow the site’s matching steps and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Shana combines person-centred counselling and solution-focused techniques in online sessions. Person-centred work means the counsellor gives space for the client to lead the conversation and reflects what is said, which helps people explore feelings and build self-understanding. Solution-focused work narrows attention to small, practical steps and what already works for the client, which is useful for tackling problems like low mood, anxiety or patterns of people-pleasing.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Shana discusses different options with each person and decides together what to try first. That collaborative approach helps match the style to the client’s needs, goals and preferences over time.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy around busy days and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera; others value a longer conversation when time allows. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, and the counsellor will help plan sessions so they suit everyday life and commitments.
