Shana Taylor, BACP

Shana Taylor is a counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and personal. She works at a pace set by the client and focuses on listening first. People who feel stressed, anxious, low in mood, or worn down by caring responsibilities often find her approach easy to follow.

Shana uses a person-centred way of working that keeps your concerns central. That means she listens, reflects what she hears, and helps you find your own next steps. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to clarify short-term goals and practical ways forward.

Her practice speaks to people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems and the pressures that come with caregiving. She also supports those managing chronic illness or pain, isolation, body image distress and a mix of overlapping issues.

Shana holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of experience working with people who want steady, empathetic support while they navigate change.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. If you are looking for a counsellor who listens closely and helps you build workable steps, she aims to offer a calm, collaborative space to do that.

How person-centred and solution-focused work online

Shana uses person-centred counselling and solution-focused techniques that adapt well to remote work. Person-centred therapy is about listening closely, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own path forward; it suits people who need time to talk and be heard. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear short-term goals, which can help when you want tangible changes quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with you to decide which methods feel most helpful based on your needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can shift between exploring feelings and setting practical steps as you decide together.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, since it often reduces travel time and can be scheduled around caregiving, work or medical appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits your routine, and it removes the need to travel to an appointment.
