About Dinah

Dinah Knox-Hooke works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression using a person-centred way of working. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience in counselling.

Dinah keeps sessions relaxed and conversational, giving people time to talk through what matters to them. She uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and reflecting. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behaviour techniques when they help move things forward.

Her practice covers a range of common difficulties, including feelings of abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems and problems with control. She also works with fatherhood issues, family problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Dinah supports people dealing with self-harm, low self-love, isolation or loneliness, social anxiety and phobia, women's issues and workplace challenges. Sessions aim to identify practical steps as well as to make sense of patterns that keep causing distress.

She welcomes people who want a counsellor who listens and offers straightforward, practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Dinah asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire and to schedule an initial session so she can understand their priorities and agree next steps.

How Dinah applies person-centred work to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and treating the client as the expert on their own life. It helps people who need time to talk through feelings, relationships and patterns that cause distress. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns that come from earlier experiences and can explain why some problems keep returning. Cognitive behaviour techniques offer practical steps and exercises to try between sessions for problems like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dinah will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with each person based on their needs, goals and preferences. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the exact session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or offering a way to continue work while living elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to help people maintain continuity of care and to offer flexible scheduling.
