About Shana
Shana Taylor is a person-centred counsellor who aims to create a calm, respectful space for people feeling overwhelmed. She focuses on listening carefully and following each person's pace. Her style is warm and empathetic, with a practical aim of helping people feel steadier day to day.
Shana works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to codependency. Other areas she often addresses include attachment concerns, abandonment, body image and caregiver stress.
Her approach is rooted in Client‑Centred Therapy, which means she places the person's own view at the centre of sessions. She also uses Solution‑Focused Therapy to help identify small, achievable steps when that fits the person's goals. Sessions tend to look like attentive listening, gentle reflection, and collaborative goal-setting.

How her approaches work online and in sessions
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach can help with low self‑esteem, relationship strain and the emotional fallout of trauma.Solution‑Focused Therapy looks at small, practical changes that make daily life easier. It helps identify clear, short‑term goals and steps to reach them, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and managing codependency patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which mix of person‑centred listening and solution‑focused steps feels most helpful. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so attending becomes simpler. Some people prefer shorter check‑ins or audio only to match their routine or bandwidth. Because the therapist's session formats are not specified here, confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they suit your needs.
