About Dianne

Dianne Taylor is a person-centred counsellor who helps people make sense of overwhelming feelings. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and stress. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma and issues that stem from childhood experience.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. Dianne listens with unconditional positive regard and adapts conversations to what each person needs. She uses practical tools alongside talking so clients can try things between sessions and notice small changes.

Over seven years she has worked in the charity sector and in private practice. That experience includes running group work in mental health settings and supporting people with low motivation, negative self-talk and low self-esteem. Her credential is NCPS, which is shown as NCPS in professional listings.

Dianne draws on a mix of methods, including cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally focused ideas, combined with attachment-aware listening. This helps when people want clearer ways to cope, set boundaries, or repair connection after hurt. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice what matters to them and act on it.

Her tone in sessions is calm and encouraging. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and work through what matters most. The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than sudden change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dianne uses a person-centred way of working alongside several structured approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on valued actions, which can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, often used for depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connection and trust, which can help with intimacy-related issues and patterns like codependency.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Dianne will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust the plan over time. She aims to help people discover which tools feel useful rather than imposing a single method.

The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking so you know what will be offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for international clients to access support from a distance while working on consistent, practical steps agreed with the therapist.
