About Shana
Shana Taylor is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She prioritises a calm pace and listens with warmth so clients can find their own footing. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life and more able to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
Shana works from a person-centred perspective. That means she follows the client’s lead, offers empathetic listening, and supports people in setting the goals that matter most to them.
Background and approach
She also uses solution-focused techniques to help identify small, practical steps that move things forward between sessions. With five years' experience, Shana has supported people through a wide range of concerns. These include relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, abandonment and attachment issues, and struggles with body image, guilt, shame and isolation.
She also helps people facing chronic pain, illness or caregiver stress alongside other challenges. Sessions are offered in English and are run from the United Kingdom. Shana works with individuals to address communication problems, codependency, control issues, dissociation and the emotional impacts of domestic violence.
Her style is steady and encouraging, focusing on what clients can do next. Many people find the mix of person-centred listening and solution-focused planning useful when they want practical change as well as emotional support. Shana aims to make therapy manageable, offering a clear space to talk through concerns and to try new ways of coping.

Approaches Shana lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses solution-focused therapy to help identify practical, short-term steps. This method looks for small changes and what already works, then builds on them to help clients move forward with clear, achievable goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shana discusses preferences, needs and goals with each person and adapts her methods collaboratively. Together they choose whether to emphasise listening, practical tasks, or a mix of both based on what fits best.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging offers brief check-ins or ongoing written support. These options help people fit counselling around work, family or mobility limits while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
