Shana Taylor

Shana Taylor is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and body image worries. She works in a warm, empathic manner and keeps the pace set by each person. Shana uses listening and gentle reflection to help people make sense of what they are facing and find small, manageable steps forward.

Shana practices a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of the work. She aims to create space for people to talk things through without pressure. This often involves reflecting back what someone is saying and helping them notice options they might not have seen.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that look for practical ways to change day-to-day patterns. These techniques are goal-oriented and can help with clearer decisions, improved communication, and small habit shifts that add up over time.

With five years of experience, Shana has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, abandonment and attachment issues, codependency and communication problems. She also helps with chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, dissociation, impulses and feelings of isolation.

Shana is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If someone is unsure whether her way of working fits their needs, she encourages a short initial conversation to see how to proceed.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Shana uses client-centred work to make the person the focus of sessions. This means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s pace so conversations unfold at a comfortable speed. That style helps when someone needs time to trust the process or to make sense of difficult feelings.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques that aim for practical change. These methods look for small, manageable steps and build on what already works, which can be useful for stresses, relationship issues and body image concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shana will work collaboratively to decide what feels useful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses so it stays relevant and achievable.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the therapist's biography does not specify formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life or health needs, and can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or for sessions without video when bandwidth is limited.
