About Taya

Taya Bassett is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She works with clients on self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Taya aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can talk about what matters to them.

She has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and brings that day-to-day practice into each meeting. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as talking through feelings. Taya tailors conversations and a treatment plan to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Many clients seek her help for life changes, grief, trauma and addiction-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, sleep disruption and work-related stress such as compassion fatigue. Adoption and foster care concerns are listed among her additional focus areas.

Taya often works on family and communication problems, including blended family issues, attachment and abandonment worries. She supports people coping with guilt, shame, control issues and the fallout of separation or domestic violence. Practical coping skills are combined with reflective discussion to build new ways of managing hard moments.

In sessions clients can expect direct, clear conversation and a plan that suits their goals. Taya encourages small, achievable steps and checks progress along the way. She aims to make the process manageable for people seeking change.

How therapy approaches shape online support

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to guide conversations and practical work. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with stress, worry and low confidence by breaking problems into smaller, manageable tasks.

Another frequently used method emphasises emotional understanding and attachment patterns. It helps people see how past relationships affect current reactions and supports changes in how they connect with others. This can be useful for relationship struggles, abandonment worries and blended family challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and fewer travel demands. When planning, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find remote work lets them keep therapy in regular routines while still focusing on meaningful change.
