Wanting to install shower but very low pressure

This is a question for my mum as she is not internet savvy.
She has a shower (not fixed up) just a shower head with taps in her lower bathroom which has really low pressure. She would like to make it into a proper shower, fix it up on the wall and install a curtain/shower door but she doesn't think there is any way of increasing the water pressure. Her water tank (for the lower bathroom) is just above the room and to the side and she thinks it would be a lot of hassle (and expensive) to move it (and she wouldn't know where to move it to). Is there any way that pressure can be increased to a shower? Would it be worth buying a powershower or a pump?
Can anyone advise as it would be great to help her get this done.

You can get a shower pump fitted, but this will depend on the HW set up she has at the minute.
She may also need a larger cold water storage tank in the loft.
This sort of thing can only be decided with a site inspection.0 -
You can get electric shower units with built in pumps for situations like this
The Triton T90XR and T80 SI come to mind0
