Dianne Taylor offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and stress. She works with individuals who struggle with self-esteem, life changes, relationship problems and parenting strain. Dianne aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.

She is a person-centred counsellor with seven years of experience in the charity sector and independent practice across the United Kingdom. Her qualification NCPS is used as her professional credential.

Background and approach

Much of her work has included one-to-one sessions and group work in mental health settings. Dianne adapts her approach to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to build meaningful action, and attachment-informed perspectives to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.

Sessions focus on practical tools alongside listening and reflection. People come to her for help with grief, low motivation, negative self-talk, coping after abuse or childhood difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, and anger. She also supports those dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and career uncertainty.

Dianne blends coaching-style planning with therapeutic reflection when that suits a client. Her style emphasises respect, sensitivity and unconditional positive regard. She aims to create an environment where people can speak openly, try new ways of coping, and set achievable goals.

Dianne encourages steady progress and works alongside clients as they make changes.

How Dianne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion; work in this vein helps people understand trust, intimacy and repeated relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable parts and teaches practical techniques to change them, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleeping or eating difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dianne will listen to what matters to the client, discuss options and try methods that fit the person’s goals. Together they review what works and adapt the plan as things evolve, so therapy grows from the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching practical exercises. Phone works well for shorter check-ins or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief ongoing support, or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
