About Dianne
Dianne Taylor is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on parenting concerns and related life issues. She works with people who are worried about anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addictions and the knock-on effects of childhood experiences. Her approach aims to help clients feel understood and to build practical ways forward.
Dianne uses straightforward conversation and active listening to create a calm, respectful space. She offers unconditional positive regard while helping people name what is troubling them.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed script. Her background includes seven years of professional work across the charity sector and independent practice. That experience includes group work in mental health settings and one-to-one counselling for common problems such as depression, stress and trauma.
Dianne brings practical tools and coping strategies to sessions. She combines person-centred work with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. These methods help with emotional regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns and relationship difficulties that often affect day-to-day parenting and family life.
Sessions are adapted to each person’s pace and goals. Dianne aims to support people to make steady changes, build confidence and find clearer ways to manage stress and parenting pressures. She emphasises collaboration and small, achievable steps.

How Dianne blends therapy approaches online
Dianne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it supports taking actions that match personal values. Client-centred work focuses on listening deeply, offering empathy and letting the person lead the pace of change.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and hold a longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower-bandwidth option is needed. Chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, written reflection or flexible support between calls. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life.
