Taya Bassett

Taya Bassett is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and motivation issues. Taya also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction and anger. She aims to offer respectful and compassionate support as people take their first steps towards change.

She shapes conversations around each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Taya tailors the pace and topics to what feels most useful for the individual in the moment.

Her background includes work supporting people through trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, and major life changes like separation and bereavement. She also supports people dealing with intimacy worries, sleeping problems and career stress. Additional areas she addresses include attachment or abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and body image issues.

Taya describes her approach as sensitive and straightforward. She encourages open dialogue about goals and setbacks, and helps people build coping skills they can use between sessions. Her practice aims to combine practical strategies with steady encouragement.

People who choose to work with Taya typically want a calm and focused space to think things through. She invites clients to be active in shaping their work together and to bring concrete problems to each session.

Approaches that guide online work

Taya draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach emphasises building coping skills and step-by-step behavioural change to manage stress, sleeping problems and addictive behaviours.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Taya will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those priorities. She adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from a convenient location. It can also enable shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without video when that better suits the person's needs. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and can pick what works best for you.
