About Taya
Taya Bassett is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, and motivation problems. Sessions are offered in English and the description that follows explains how she approaches her work.
Taya focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She helps people name problems, test small changes, and build clearer ways to handle day-to-day pressure. That can include talking about sleep, anger, or coping after loss, alongside relationship and intimacy concerns.
Her background includes five years of client work in the UK setting. Taya draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts the pace to each person. She says treatment plans are discussed together rather than imposed.
In sessions she pays attention to family patterns, attachment and how early losses or adoption experiences might affect current behaviour. She also works with issues such as addiction, domestic violence, and caregiver stress when these arise in conversation.
Taya is used to helping people through life changes like divorce, career shifts, and medical challenges such as cancer. She will talk through communication problems, commitment worries and body image concerns and aim to make therapy practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The counselling uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How Taya uses evidence-based methods in online counselling
Taya draws on recognised, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One approach focuses on recognising unhelpful thinking patterns and testing alternative ways of thinking and behaving; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach pays attention to relationships and attachment, looking at how early experiences shape reactions and communication in current relationships; this can help with intimacy, family conflict and commitment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Taya discusses options with each person and decides together what to try first based on needs, goals and preferences. That way the plan can change if something does not feel helpful.
Please confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into everyday life, such as allowing shorter check-ins during a work break or removing travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can suit people who prefer a quieter, lower-visual option. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical benefits help therapy fit around daily commitments rather than require large schedule changes.
