Shana Taylor is a person-centred counsellor who makes the client the focus of each session. She aims to move at the client's pace and offers warm, empathetic listening to help people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. Shana keeps sessions simple and direct.
She listens without judgement and helps people name what feels hard. This plain approach can help when feelings are confusing or overwhelming.
Background and approach
She emphasises practical steps that fit into everyday life. Her approach is based on Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means Shana prioritises the client's experience and also looks for small, workable changes that can make a real difference.
Conversations aim to build clarity, reduce distress, and identify realistic next steps. Over five years she has supported people with a wide range of concerns. These include abandonment and attachment worries, body image and guilt, caregiving stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, dissociation and effects of domestic violence.
She also addresses communication problems, control issues, impulsivity and midlife questions. Sessions are offered in English and take place online in the United Kingdom. Shana is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are discussed before work begins to ensure the arrangement suits each person.
How Shana’s approaches work online
Shana draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows your lead, listens closely and helps you make sense of what you feel. This approach suits people who need time, space and acceptance to open up. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that help you move forward quickly. It is useful when you want clear steps and measurable changes, for example with stress, motivation or everyday relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as you make progress or as priorities shift.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues when that matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for people who prefer writing, need flexible timing or want to reflect between messages. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to maintain contact when travel or location would otherwise make in-person sessions difficult.
