About Shana
Shana Taylor makes space for people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or worn down by life. She approaches each person with warmth and steady listening, and aims to help them feel a bit more settled. Shana uses plain, practical language so conversations stay clear and focused.
She works from a person-centred perspective that keeps the client's priorities central. That means sessions move at the client’s pace and the focus is on what the person wants to address.
Background and approach
She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help identify small, practical steps that can make a difference between sessions. Shana has five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and related struggles.
She also helps people with issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, dissociation, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife concerns. In conversation she aims to be empathic and non-judgemental, offering genuine listening and simple tools where they help. Sessions centre on the client’s goals and on finding manageable changes that fit with everyday life.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are carried out in English and she sees clients in the United Kingdom. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

How Shana works online
She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on small, achievable changes. These methods help identify practical steps and short-term goals, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and everyday challenges.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to agree what feels most useful based on needs, goals and preferences. That may involve trying different ways of working until a comfortable fit is found.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow conversations to continue from other locations when in-person attendance is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt their methods to suit the online setting and to help clients make steady progress.
