About Dinah
Dinah Knox-Hooke is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and depression, including social anxiety and phobia. Dinah speaks English and accepts international clients.
Dinah uses a conversational, person-centred style that keeps the client's experience central. Sessions are relaxed and focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She aims to help people notice strengths, name problems, and take small steps toward clearer choices.
Her approach draws primarily on Client-Centred Therapy alongside elements from psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural methods. That mix is used to reflect on patterns, test new ways of responding, and build on what already works. Dinah helps people talk through issues such as attachment or control concerns, parenting and fatherhood questions, guilt, shame, isolation and workplace stress.
Practical matters are kept simple. Dinah invites clients to describe what they want to work on and then agrees a pace and focus together. Sessions are conversational rather than prescriptive, with time for reflection and practical next steps between meetings.
She asks prospective clients to use the site’s matching questionnaire to schedule an initial session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. If unsure about formats or how to begin, the site process gives clear next steps.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports the client to find their own answers. This approach is often useful for worries about self-worth, loneliness, or problems with connection.Dinah also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring patterns that come from past relationships. This can help make sense of attachment or abandonment concerns and show how past experiences affect present choices. Cognitive behavioural elements are used to try out practical changes in thinking and behaviour, which can be helpful for social anxiety and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dinah will discuss options with the client and agree a plan based on their concerns, goals and preferences. That means the approach can shift as progress is made or priorities change, and decisions are taken together.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options 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. Many people find it simpler to schedule a session around work or family commitments and to continue practical work between meetings.
