She works with issues like depression, low self-esteem and trauma in a calm, person-centred way.

Her experience includes working with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation and isolation. Shana also offers support around control issues, guilt and shame, domestic violence, impulsivity and co-morbidity alongside the core areas already mentioned.

Shana holds BACP and has five years of practice experience. She works from the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English. For people considering therapy, she encourages taking a gentle first step and choosing a way of working that fits into everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people a listening space where their experience is heard and valued. It helps when someone needs to talk through tough feelings, decisions or identity shifts and wants a therapist who follows their lead.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and achievable goals. This approach is useful for people who want to try different ways of coping, test changes between sessions, and notice gradual improvements in daily life.

Finding the right approach often happens together. The therapist will work with the person to understand their needs, priorities and preferences, and then agree which methods to use. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most helpful for each individual.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or to choose a time that suits work and family commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact options available before booking to ensure they match your needs.
