Shana Taylor, BACP

Shana Taylor places the person seeking help at the centre of therapy. She offers calm, attentive support for people coping with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Her style is gentle and paced to each individual, with listening used as a main tool to help people feel understood.

She works from a person-centred outlook that lets the client lead the conversation. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, at a speed that feels manageable. Shana also uses solution-focused ideas to spot practical steps forward and build on small changes.

Shana has five years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which shows her professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her practice covers common concerns such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and relationship strain. She also pays attention to related issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency and isolation.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are not currently accepted and appointments are arranged from the United Kingdom.

People can expect a caring, straightforward approach. Shana aims to help clients notice practical options, reduce overwhelming feelings and develop clearer ways of coping. She supports decisions about pace and focus throughout the therapeutic process.

Person-centred and solution-focused therapy online

Shana uses person-centred work that keeps the client's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person's pace so they feel heard and can name what matters to them. It is often helpful for people managing anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and emotional aftermath from trauma.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy which looks for practical, achievable steps. That involves identifying small changes that build momentum and reviewing what works for the individual. It can be useful when someone wants clear, goal-oriented progress alongside empathic listening.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Shana will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then shape sessions together. She aims to balance understanding with practical options so the work fits each person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or low bandwidth situations, while chat and messaging let people write when that feels easier. These options offer more flexibility for fitting therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits and make it easier to keep continuity between sessions.
