Taya Bassett, NCPS

Taya Bassett is a counsellor who draws on five years of UK practice to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She works directly with issues like self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Taya aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people taking the first step towards change.

Her approach is practical and person-centred. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, so conversations and plans are adjusted as therapy progresses. She helps people talk through family conflicts, parenting stresses, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse in everyday terms.

Taya also supports people facing intimacy-related worries, sleeping problems, anger and addiction concerns. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication problems that can underlie repeated relationship patterns. Work may include looking at how control issues, guilt, shame or body image affect day-to-day choices.

Clients with life transitions or career pressures can expect help to clarify goals and develop coping strategies. She also offers support for cancer-related stress and caregiver strain, and for those dealing with divorce or blended family tensions. Sessions aim to build skills people can use between meetings.

Taya holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Evidence-based techniques are used to help people make concrete changes. One common approach focuses on practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding and activity planning to reduce overwhelm. Another approach addresses relationship and attachment concerns by looking at patterns of communication and emotional responses, helping people try different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods over time so the plan fits the person's needs. This collaborative way helps ensure the techniques used match what the person wants to achieve.

If you are interested in online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life or work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a busy day. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care when routines change.
