About Shana
Shana Taylor welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, low mood, or struggles with self-worth. She introduces herself simply and listens closely, letting the person set the pace for sessions. Shana works in a calm, warm manner that aims to help people feel heard and understood.
Shana uses a person-centred style that focuses on what each person brings to the room. That means she follows the client's lead and concentrates on their priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan.
How Shana works
She also draws on solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps clients can try between sessions. Over five years of practice have given her experience with trauma and abuse, abandonment and attachment issues, and the emotional effects of chronic illness and caregiving. She also supports people facing codependency, body image concerns, dissociation, and midlife uncertainty.
Shana pays attention to how these patterns affect daily life and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and take place online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Shana is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she does not accept international clients. People interested in working with Shana begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. The subscription-based service is used for sessions and can be cancelled at any time.
Scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability.

How these approaches work online
Shana combines person-centred care with solution-focused techniques to offer down-to-earth online therapy. Person-centred therapy is about listening closely and following the client's pace. It helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and feel accepted without judgement. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying small, doable changes and practical steps that move a person toward their goals.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Shana will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and together they will choose ways of working that fit. She adapts the balance between listening and practical planning as the relationship develops.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different circumstances. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging offer shorter, more frequent contact and can be easier to fit around work or caregiving. Many people find the range of formats helps them keep therapy consistent and accessible alongside daily life.
