About Taya

Taya Bassett works on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and on building self-esteem and coping skills. She uses conversation and practical strategies to help people manage life changes and difficult emotions. Taya is registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on helping people who are coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports clients facing sleeping problems, career pressures, anger and compassion fatigue. Taya works with a wide range of everyday family and communication problems such as blended family tensions, adoption and foster care issues, and separation or divorce challenges.

Her approach is based on evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered through straightforward talking and problem-solving. Sessions tend to include practical steps, communication practice and ways to handle intense feelings. She will work with each person to decide which techniques are most useful for their situation.

Taya also addresses concerns related to body image, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, guilt and shame, and cancer-related emotional impacts. She pays attention to patterns that cause recurring conflict and to ways of improving connection and boundaries.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work is organised

Two evidence-based techniques commonly used are structured talking with practical coping strategies and focused problem-solving. Structured talking involves guided conversation to identify unhelpful patterns and to plan small changes, which can help with anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Focused problem-solving looks at a specific difficulty and breaks it down into steps to test and adjust in everyday life, useful for career stress, parenting challenges and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree together which techniques to try based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their energy on the day, for example a single brief check-in rather than a longer appointment, or a session when quieter surroundings are available.
