Shana Taylor, BACP

Shana Taylor offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and low self-esteem. She presents herself as a person-centred counsellor who listens closely and moves at each client’s pace. Shana works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

In sessions she focuses on helping people feel heard and understood. Conversations are led by the client’s concerns, with the therapist reflecting back what matters most. The aim is to help people regain balance and feel more able to cope with day-to-day life.

Shana uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Solution-Focused Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy and a non-judgemental attitude so people can explore what matters to them. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that build momentum and practical change.

Her five years of experience inform a straightforward approach. She attends to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency and communication problems. Other areas she addresses include dissociation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation.

Sessions are arranged through the platform’s matching process and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients select Start Therapy, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Shana is registered with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. It involves warm, non-judgemental listening and helping clients make sense of their feelings. This approach suits people who need understanding and time to explore difficult emotions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, practical changes. The focus is on what works now and next, building steps that feel achievable. It can help with problems where concrete goal-setting and clear next steps are useful.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which style or mix of styles fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can evolve as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online appointments can be easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and shorter check-ins are possible when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current delivery options before booking to know whether video, phone or another format will be used.
