About Shana

Shana Taylor is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, stress and related concerns such as panic. She aims to make the first steps less daunting by listening carefully and working at a pace that suits each person. Her approach is warm and empathic, and she aims to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.

Shana uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s perspective central. Conversations are guided by what the person wants to address, whether that is low mood, relationship strains, or difficulty with self‑esteem. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help identify practical steps and small changes that move things forward.

Shana has five years of experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration noted in her profile. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are not currently accepted.

In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people name what matters most to them. Topics she commonly addresses include trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment worries, body image and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, isolation and midlife concerns. The work is collaborative and paced to what a person can manage.

For those who prefer a straightforward route in, starting involves completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions when the therapist is available. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can explore their feelings at their own pace. It suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of anxiety, panic and life stress without pressure to follow a set agenda.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, short-term steps that move someone towards clearer goals. It is useful when someone wants small, manageable changes to reduce worry or improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss the person’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods that feel most helpful. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel and allowing appointments during short work breaks. It can also suit people who prefer talking rather than attending in person. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often offer a mix of options to match practical needs and personal comfort.
