About Taya

Taya Bassett is a NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulties, and low self-esteem. Her profile also lists help with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems and career stress.

Taya approaches sessions as practical conversations. She asks about what is happening day to day and which changes would make life easier. She helps people break problems into smaller steps and looks for workable adjustments to routines and communication.

Many people consult her about parenting pressures, co-parenting arrangements and the stresses that come with blended family life. She can talk through loyalty tensions, disagreements over rules, and how new household routines might be negotiated.

When grief or past hurt is part of the picture she uses straightforward strategies to manage difficult emotions and reduce overwhelm. For anxiety and stress she focuses on building simple coping skills and clearer day-to-day plans.

Her style is respectful and direct. Sessions involve setting practical goals, checking progress, and changing what is not helping. To begin she asks about current struggles and what the person wants to do differently next month.

People who want to start are invited to use the online matching process and book an initial appointment. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Evidence-based approaches are used in plain, practical ways. Cognitive techniques focus on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing it against everyday experience; this helps with anxiety, low mood and negative self-beliefs. Behavioural strategies concentrate on small action steps and routine changes to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep, motivation and emotional regulation. When past hurt or attachment issues are present, the work often includes naming difficult memories and practising new ways of relating in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation can be adjusted as progress is reviewed and needs change.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people remote meetings help keep continuity of care while juggling work, childcare or household routines. The practical aim is to make therapy usable within everyday life rather than asking people to rearrange everything to attend.
