I usually counter Nasus with Shyvana, and I am not a main Shyvana. I am comfort with her but I don't like to play her very often. However I do know how to play her. I usually max E to avoid pushing the lane and to harass Nasus from a distance.

Shyvana works very well against Nasus because she does mixed damage (very difficult to counter; you buy Frozen Heart, she still does a lot of magic damage, you buy Spirit Visage, she does physical damage with her autos, Q, and BotRK) - Also, she is tanky, so she isn't prone to being outdamaged or outsustained once Nasus gets tanky items. Being tanky also means that Shyvana is as useful as Nasus during teamfights, and while she doesn't scale extremely well into late game, she scales as much better as him, so Nasus can't outscale Shyvana like she does with picks such as Riven or Darius.

Last and not least, Shyvana is a manaless champion. So, Nasus can't rely on the "wait until the enemy runs out of mana then start to outsustain him" strategy to beat her.
