Compassionate person-centred support for life challenges
About Dianne
Dianne Taylor helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about their next steps. She meets people where they are and aims to create a calm space for talking things through. Dianne is a counsellor with seven years of experience and holds NCPS accreditation.
She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions and grief. She also supports people with self-esteem, motivation, relationship difficulties, intimacy-related worries and career stress.
Background and approach
Practical issues such as sleeping and eating problems, parenting strain and compassion fatigue are part of her day-to-day work. Dianne uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique needs. She blends that with cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to help people notice what matters to them and take steps towards those values. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas are also part of her approach for those wanting to understand relationship patterns and emotional responses. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people build small, doable changes.
Dianne offers tools and practical strategies alongside time for processing difficult experiences. She has professional experience in both the charity sector and independent practice in the United Kingdom. Dianne is English-speaking and accepts international clients, and she invites people to take the first step when they feel ready.

How Dianne's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that reflect their values. This can be useful for anxiety, depression and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change patterns; it often helps with worry, sleep problems and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present reactions and can help people understand recurring relationship or intimacy issues. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dianne will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change as sessions progress so the approach stays matched to the person’s needs. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people see and hear each other for conversational therapy. Phone sessions are useful when less bandwidth is available or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter reflections, practical homework or for those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or different time zones and allow people to continue therapy even when travel or mobility would make attending in person difficult.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
