About Taya

Taya Bassett is a counsellor registered as NCPS with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and issues around self-esteem and confidence. Her practice also covers coping with life changes, grief, addictions and trauma and abuse.

Taya uses straightforward conversation to help people identify what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than technical jargon. She adjusts how she talks and plans work together to match each person's situation and goals.

She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, sleep problems, anger and career stress. Intimacy-related concerns, commitment worries and body image are part of her caseload. Taya lists additional focus on attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, and blended family dynamics.

People come to her with problems such as domestic violence effects, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, guilt and shame. She addresses communication problems, control issues and forgiveness work when those are central to the difficulty. The approach is practical and conversational, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier.

To begin, clients use the platform matching process and then arrange an initial session. Taya works in English and notes that international clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Practical approaches and online sessions

Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviours and relationships. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding to social situations or anxiety. Behavioural techniques involve small, repeated steps to reduce avoidance and build confidence in everyday settings.

Another common approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns. This looks at how early caregiving and current relationship habits affect how someone relates to others, and it supports clearer communication and boundary-setting. Both approaches can be useful for social anxiety, relationship strain and recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will talk through options based on the client's goals, current challenges and preferences, and then try methods that fit the individual's pace and needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available 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. They also let someone choose whether to use video or another supported option depending on what feels most manageable.
