About Dianne
Dianne Taylor is a counsellor who focuses on people struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and trauma. She works with adults facing addictions, depression, parenting stress and common life changes. She aims to make a first conversation feel straightforward and calm so people can say what matters to them.
Dianne trained as a Person Centred counsellor and uses that approach to centre the conversation on each person's experience. She also draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioural methods to help change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and small steps forward.
Background and approach
Her seven years of practice include work in the charity sector and independent practice, plus group work in mental health settings. That mix means she is used to short-term focused work and longer conversations about deeper childhood or attachment issues. Sessions are constructed around what the client needs.
Dianne listens without judgement, offers straightforward feedback and suggests simple exercises to practise between sessions. She often works on mood, sleep, worry, motivation and relationship communication in clear, doable ways. People who want a respectful, empathetic counsellor who keeps language simple may find her style helpful.
Dianne seeks to tailor the way she works to a client's goals and pace, and to help them build practical skills alongside emotional processing.
Approaches online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and to take small actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and decisions about meaningful change.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and gentle reflection so a person can find their own way forward. This approach is often useful when someone needs a calm, non-judgemental space to process grief, low mood or relationship worries.
Choosing the right approach is treated as a joint process. Dianne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adapts the plan as the work progresses so the therapy fits what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be used for brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel without losing continuity of care.
