About Shana
Counsellor Shana Taylor is a member of BACP with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English to people based in the United Kingdom.
Shana uses a person-centred way of working. She listens and follows what a client brings, allowing conversations to move at a person’s own pace. That approach focuses on what matters most to the individual rather than fitting clients into a set plan.
She also draws on solution-focused methods. These are practical conversations that look for small, steady changes. They suit people who want concrete steps and ways to notice progress between sessions.
Shana regularly helps with areas connected to relationships and identity. Examples include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency and midlife concerns. She also works with body image, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.
Other matters she supports include caregiver stress, chronic pain or long-term illness, dissociation, impulse difficulties, control issues and the effects of domestic violence. This range reflects how problems in one area can affect other parts of life.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches used in online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what a person brings. The counsellor mirrors concerns, offers understanding and lets conversations move at the client's pace. This approach can help when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to start.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical changes. Sessions look for existing strengths and steps that can be repeated between meetings. This can be useful for stress, anxiety or relationship problems when people want concrete actions to try.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, then agree which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it easier to schedule sessions around work and caring duties. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt exercises and homework to suit remote meetings.
