About Taya
Taya Bassett is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, motivation problems and confidence concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addiction issues and the strain of caregiving.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions aim to identify what is keeping a person stuck and then try small, manageable changes. Taya pays attention to how past experience, attachment and family patterns shape current feelings, including guilt and shame.
Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with reflective talking. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and develop different ways of coping. Where relevant, she looks at communication patterns and relationship dynamics to reduce repeated tensions and misunderstandings.
Taya invites clients to set clear, realistic goals and checks in about progress. She adapts the pace to each person, using short-term strategies when needed and deeper exploration when helpful. Practical strategies for sleep, anger and stress management are offered alongside work on self-worth and intimacy issues.
People who choose to work with Taya can expect direct, plain speaking and a focus on usable steps. She offers guidance for matters such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image and forgiveness without promising any specific outcome.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques often used in counselling help people spot patterns in thinking and behaviour that feed distress. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence; this helps reduce anxious thinking and the rumination that can feed guilt. Another approach works with attachment and family patterns, looking at how early relationships shape current reactions and difficulties in intimacy and trust.Finding the right way to work is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree on a plan together. That plan can change as progress is reviewed, so sessions stay practical and relevant to the person’s aims.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or more frequent brief contacts when that helps. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to see how they would fit into everyday routines.
