Support with Shana

Hello, I'm shana (she/her/hers)

My Approach

As a person-centred counsellor, I put you (the client) at the heart of the therapeutic experience. For me, this means taking things at your pace, and supporting you in any difficulties or challenges you want to address. I do this in an empathic and warm way. The power of listening can be so empowering.

My Philosophy

I believe that each individual is deserving of support. Our mental and emotional wellbeing have huge impacts on how we see the world and how we live our lives, so it makes sense that we can struggle when our worlds feel a bit unbalanced. I think that therapy can be a powerful tool to help achieve balance and stability, helping us to feel a bit more 'okay'.

what to expect

What might counselling look like?

Person-centred counselling might be a bit different from other therapies you have read about, or have experienced yourself! It is a talking therapy, that believes with the right therapeutic environment, everyone has the potential to grow and develop as a person. This is the kind of space I like to offer clients.

You might come to session with a specific thing in mind to talk about or process, or you may decide to talk openly about any challenges you're currently facing. You might want to explore coping strategies, or understand yourself better from a developmental point of view. We'll work together to explore what exactly works best for you, as an individual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What kind of difficulties do you work with?

My experience so far has allowed me to work with a range of life difficulties and challenges, such as: anxiety, stress, depression, self-image and self-esteem, sexual violence, abuse, trauma and relationships.

If there is a specific difficulty you'd like to work through via therapy, and you don't see it listed, feel free to get in touch and we can have a chat.

What days and times can I book in for?

I currently offer online sessions on Monday, Thursday and Fridays after 5pm.

How often should I have sessions?

This will depend on your individual needs and goals of therapy, as well as cost affordability. Some clients may benefit from weekly sessions, however I am happy to provide bi-weekly or monthly sessions, depending on the needs and wants of any clients.

How many sessions do I need?

I believe therapy should be client led, and this includes empowering you to stop therapy when you feel able to. Some clients may wish to work short term (typically 6-12 weeks), whereas others may benefit from longer-term sessions. This doesn't need to be pre-decided! We can discuss this at any point throughout the therapeutic process.

Prices

I also offer some concession and student prices, so feel free to ask in your initial enquiry.
